This extraordinary pair of carved concrete griffon gargoyles looks as though they were lifted straight from the towers of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Each guardian features a powerful winged form with a long birdlike face and taloned hands clutching a heraldic shield, designed to inspire awe and protect the home they once adorned.
Salvaged from a historic Hancock Park estate in Los Angeles, these are all-original 1920s–30s architectural elements that rarely—if ever—surface on the market. Measuring 31 inches tall by 16 inches wide and 16 inches deep, they strike the perfect balance: substantial and heavy enough to command presence, yet a comfortable size for display in an entryway, garden, or interior setting. Opportunities to acquire authentic gargoyle sculptures of this caliber are nearly nonexistent, making this a once-in-a-lifetime offering.

There is some evidence of past repairs over their long history, which is not uncommon for salvaged elements of this era. The repairs are stable and do not detract from their character or Gothic grandeur. Overall, the pair remains strong, intact, and ready for another century of guardianship. less
