17th century, Rampant Lions, with one possibly being a later copy, carved oak, 87 and 86 in.; later polychromed wood stands
Notes: The Atlanta History Center states the "accession record and subsequent research indicates the lions were purchased from an English country house for use decorating the entrance to a hotel originally owned by Lindsey Hopkins (donor) at Coral Beach, Nassau, Bahamas. The Coral Harbour Club opened in 1958 with William Pahlmann Associates designing the interiors of the club's public areas and many of the club's private homes (including the home of Lindsey Hopkins.) Lindsey Hopkins later donated the lions to the Atlanta History Center. Beginning in 1976 they flanked the History Center’s auditorium stage for over thirty years."
