{"product_id":"pair-of-staffordshire-lions","title":"A Magnificent Pair of Vintage Medici-Style Pottery Lions","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pair are a superb representation of the Medici Lion tradition. Modelled in a walking, striding pose, each lion is powerful and alert, with muscles clearly defined. The central element of their form is a smooth sphere—a globe or ball—which they rest one powerful forepaw upon, a classic symbol of world dominion. They stand on integrated, rectangular pottery bases with an intricate, cross-hatched, lattice-patterned border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pottery is expertly hand-painted in a warm, textured glaze of golden-brown and tawny-ochre tones, perfectly capturing the texture of a lion’s coat. This is contrasted beautifully with their deep, voluminous manes, which are a glossy, textured, near-black glaze that adds deep shadow and drama. Each face is individually detailed, giving the lions unique, intense expressions that bring them to life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCirca 1880\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSold as a pair \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eH: 12cm x D: 20cm x W: 10cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scene by Chloe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56476689891707,"sku":"20770","price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/5596\/1061\/files\/248FD150-F42F-4340-A914-641E8AE1EB3E.jpg?v=1790561612","url":"https:\/\/scenebychloe.com\/products\/pair-of-staffordshire-lions","provider":"Scene by Chloe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
