About the Item

This is a powerful and finely cast antique bronze sculpture of a lion, dating most likely to the 19th century. The piece captures the king of beasts in a dynamic and commanding pose, striding forward with muscles taut and mouth open in a fierce roar. The sculpture demonstrates remarkable attention to detail in the anatomical rendering — from the lion’s powerful limbs and sinewy body to the expressive face and deeply textured mane. The realistic modeling reflects the influence of the 19th-century European naturalist tradition, when animal bronzes became highly sought after by collectors. The lion’s stance exudes both strength and motion, making it an emblem of courage, dominance, and majesty. Executed in rich dark brown patinated bronze, the surface shows fine chasing and definition, adding depth and life to the sculpture. The tail curves naturally behind, balancing the forward movement of the figure. At 31 cm in length, this sculpture is an impressive decorative object — large enough to command attention on a mantle, desk, or display cabinet, yet refined enough to blend seamlessly in both classical and modern interiors. Specifications Material: Bronze, dark brown patina Style/Period: 19th century, naturalistic animalier style Subject: Lion, striding and roaring Dimensions: Length 31 cm (approx.) Condition: Very good antique condition with natural age patina; no significant damages or repairs noted Use: Collector’s piece, display sculpture, interior décor Lions have long symbolized strength, bravery, and protection across cultures, and in 19th-century European art they became especially popular as symbols of power and empire. This bronze would have been appreciated both as a decorative object and as a statement of refinement and taste.
