The Medici & Vacca Lions

The Medici & Vacca Lions are an exact miniaturized recreation of the famed Italian marble sculptures, meticulously handcrafted by Sculptured Arts Studio. Free-standing and presented without a base, this remarkable piece captures the grandeur and historical significance of the original lions. The first lion dates back to the 2nd century BC and was once owned by the powerful Medici family, guarding the steps of the Villa Medici in Italy. Its companion was sculpted by Flaminio Vacca in 1590, and together the pair were relocated in 1799 to their current home at the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence.

Handmade in Staffordshire, England, by Sculptured Arts Studio—renowned for producing museum-quality sculptures—this piece reflects exceptional craftsmanship, detail, and authenticity. Created from marble and weighing an impressive 9 kg, it conveys both presence and permanence. Measuring 22 cm tall, 34 cm wide, and 12 cm deep, this collectible sculpture is ideal for classical art enthusiasts, history lovers, or collectors seeking a refined and historically rich statement piece that embodies centuries of artistic legacy.
