This striking pair of vintage ceramic Foo Lions (Guardian Lions) is a definitive statement of Hollywood Regency glamour and Chinoiserie sophistication. Finished in a luscious, high-gloss Sang de Boeuf (Oxblood) glaze, the deep crimson tones offer a rich visual depth that shifts elegantly in the light. Each lion is masterfully sculpted with intricate attention to detail, from the expressive manes to the ornate, geometric pedestals they inhabit.
