About the Item

Antique Brass Lion Paperweights – Matched Pair A fine pair of antique brass lion figurines, each featuring a lion resting its paw on a spherical object. These pieces, with a good weight, are ideal as paperweights and display a subtle elegance. The gentle tarnishing and patina add to their antique charm, reflecting their age and craftsmanship. The design, reminiscent of the Grand Tour period of the late 19th to early 20th century, evokes classical influences, making them a striking addition to any collection or as decorative accents for a study, desk, or mantelpiece. Dimensions: Height: 8 cm Width: 9 cm Depth: 4 cm Condition: Light tarnishing and wear consistent with age, adding character to the pieces. No visible maker’s mark.
