Pair of Antique French Limestone Recumbent Sphinxes (GE-HDLW)

A striking pair of 20th century recumbent sphinx statues from France, hand carved in solid limestone. Each figure features a serene female face framed by a traditional headdress, flowing into a lion’s body with defined paws, tail detail, and an integrated plinth base. The carving is crisp yet softened by natural weathering, with age spots and patina throughout that add depth and character. Sculptural from every angle, they make a strong architectural statement flanking an entry, lining a drive, or grounding a formal garden setting. Timeless in form and substantial in presence, they are meant to be placed and experienced as a true pair.
