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
