TERRA COTTA LION HEAD FROM
TERRA COTTA LION HEAD FROM HERMITAGE HOTELArchitectural ornament from Hermitage Hotel, Nashville, TN, large molded terracotta head of roaring lion, painted cream with concrete remnant on back. Impressed numbers on back. 12 1/2" H x 17 3/4" D overall x 15 1/2" W. Circa 1910. The Hermitage Hotel, a landmark in downtown Nashville, was designed by Middle Tennessee architect J.E.R. Carpenter and finished in 1910. It has lodged a who's who of American politicians, entertainment personalities, and foreign dignitaries, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. One of the most notable features of the Beaux Arts style hotel is the polychromed terra cotta architectural ornamentation found at the base, top floor and roof cornice. Around 2001, restorations were made to the projecting cornice and some pieces were removed and replaced with fiberglass reproductions. Some of the original intact architectural elements were made available to Historic Nashville Inc., including this lion head, which is being sold along with its original certificate of authenticity from Historic Nashville Inc. (Higher-resolution photos are available at www.caseantiques.com)

GREEK APULIAN GUTTUS LION HEAD
GREEK APULIAN GUTTUS LION HEAD SPOUT, EX-CHRISTIE'SGreek colonies, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 325 BCE. A gorgeously preserved, brilliantly painted pottery guttus, featuring a fierce spout in the form of a lion head, a perfectly-formed, delicate loop handle, and a circular depressed strainer on the top center. On one side of the body are two swans or geese, one standing and one sitting, each with their heads delicately bent forward on their long, curved necks. Small white-painted dots near their heads give the impression that the birds are eating something on the ground. Larger circles and flourishes also decorate the surface. A guttos like this example would have been used by the ancients for holding precious oil to fill oil lamps. Lion and swan imagery were both popular in the classical world. Size: 4.8" W x 2.5" H (12.2 cm x 6.4 cm)
