{"product_id":"carved-lion-paw","title":"Carved Lion Paw","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eA substantial 19th-century English carved wood furniture foot modeled as a lion’s paw, salvaged from a larger piece of furniture. The oversized scale suggests it once supported a substantial table, cabinet, sofa, or other heavy furnishing rather than a small decorative piece. Lion-paw feet were a recurring motif in English furniture, especially in classical revival and Victorian forms.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eDeeply carved toes, rounded knuckles, and foliate carving above give the piece a strong sculptural presence. The dark finish has worn through in places to reveal warmer wood beneath, while old cracks, abrasions, and mounting evidence preserve its history as a working furniture element. Removed from its original context, it reads almost like a small piece of architectural sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th century; England\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carved wood with dark stained finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003e5.5\"\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eL x 7\" W x 5.25\" H\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique salvage condition with age-related surface wear, scratches, finish loss, old cracks and separations, and scattered abrasions.
