Pair of Antique Staffordshire Recumbent Lions

A charming pair of 19th-century Staffordshire lions, beautifully modeled in the classic recumbent pose with each lion resting a paw atop a sphere—a traditional symbol of strength and guardianship. Rendered in warm russet, honey, and cream glazes, this pair embodies the beloved folk-art spirit and whimsical character that define antique Staffordshire figures.

Their expressive faces, detailed manes, and gently rounded forms make them wonderful accents for English Traditional, Country House, and Eclectic Regency-inspired interiors. Perfect on a mantel, flanking books on a library shelf, or adding a collected sensibility to any vignette.
