About the Item

An English brass lion sculpture from the late 19th century, in a reclining position. Born in the later years of the 19th century, this English brass lion exudes an undeniable air of wisdom and strength. Looking directly at us, he is communicating his patient attitude with us. Calmly reclining, with his left paw slightly curved, he is striking us with the magnificence of his mane. Hollow in the back, this English brass lion sculpture, circa 1890 will look wonderful placed against a wall, perhaps on a console table, chest-of-drawers or buffet.
