Antique 19th Century Bronze Lion Sculpture, Naturalist Animalier Style A powerful and finely cast antique bronze sculpture of a lion, dating to the 19th century, embodying the majesty and strength of the king of beasts. The lion is captured in a dynamic stride, with muscles tensed and mouth open in a fierce roar, a masterful portrayal of motion and authority. Executed in dark brown patinated bronze, this piece demonstrates superb craftsmanship and anatomical precision, reflecting the European Animalier tradition that flourished in the 19th century. The deeply chased mane, sinewy body, and expressive face reveal both artistic sensitivity and technical mastery. The lion’s curved tail and forward stance lend a sense of fluid energy and balance. At 31 cm in length, this sculpture commands attention without overwhelming the space — ideal for a mantel, study, or collector’s cabinet. Its naturalistic detailing and rich patina make it a timeless statement of power, courage, and refinement. In very good antique condition, with gentle age patina and no visible repairs or losses.
