A Pair of French Terracotta Seated Armorial Griffins
signed "Merabeau" and dated 1894
This proper opposing pair of griffins is simply sensational. Traces of old blue paint and a touch of sympathetic restoration make them a stunning statement atop a pair of stone gate piers guarding an estate or at an entrance to a formal garden. Found in the Var Department of France. NB: these figures need a generally freeze-free environment
