Superb 19th C. European Gilt Brass Griffin Statue

Item Details

Description

Western Europe, England / France, Victorian to Edwardian era, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A beautiful cast-brass griffin statue with light remains of gold gilding and exceptionally sharp details on the wings! The stately beast sits with wings erect and staring nobly forward with the sinuous tail curled over his haunches. The rear legs have pierced holes and an opening on the base that may have been attached to an architectural element or an andiron. The griffin was a fierce symbol of divine strength. The tradition was long lasting - we know of examples from ancient Iran and Egypt that are from ca. 3000 BCE - and the animal continued to appear in classically-inspired art into the early modern period as symbols of power and protection. According to Graeco-Roman mythology, griffins lived in the Riphaean Mountains of Scythia and guarded rich gold deposits. Size: 9" L x 3" W x 11" H (22.9 cm x 7.6 cm x 27.9 cm)

Provenance: private Rancho Mirage, California, USA collection, by inheritance in 2020; ex-Dr. TDR Berreth, California, USA, acquired before 1982
