The Canova Lions, as sculpture bookends.
The Lions were originally made by the sculptor Antonio Canova for the Rezzonico monument in St. Peters, Rome.
They were then commissioned by the 6th Duke of Devonshire in 1823, for Chatsworth House, England.
The sleeping Lion was made by Rinaldo Rinaldi and the Crouching Lion was made by Francesco Benaglia, each weighing 3.5 tonnes each of Carara marble.
