This pair of carved wooden lion supports was most likely part of a 16th-century period Renaissance trunk. Hand-carved in Italy, it is quite possible that the lions were inserted as feet into the bottom of an Italian cassone, as evidenced by the elongated attaching boards.
CONDITION: Good antique condition. Commensurate losses, which does not include small chips to the affixing blocks. Minor nicks and age separations. Light traces of old wood worm damage.
