A. Santini Classical Lion Sculpture

By queenpossom, 3 November, 2011
Description

I had to take pictures with my phone so they're not quality but I got one of the signature and of the full sculpture under the best lighting I could. I've seen a.santini lions but I've never been able to find one exactly like this one so I don't know it's actual value for it's size and the rarity of this particular sculpture.  I once emailed the daughter of A. Santini who gave me a little information on it (probably 7 or 8 years ago) and she said the approximate value at the time was around $300 usd. I just wondered if it was still going for that or more or less now.

Values are all over the place with these Italian pieces, depending on who's at the auction and knows anything about them. here's a link to Santini pieces sold at auction to give you an idea of the market.
