Large Contemporary Gold Leaf Lioness Sculpture

About the Item

Large Contemporary Gold Leaf Lioness Sculpture – Ex-Display Decorative Statement Piece An arresting and finely modelled contemporary sculpture of a reclining lioness, crafted in resin and finished with hand-applied gold leaf. This substantial life-size figure is both bold and elegant, with a strong sculptural presence and a poised, regal stance that draws the eye. The lioness is depicted at rest, her body stretched in a naturalistic pose with forelegs extended and her gaze fixed forward in serene contemplation. The anatomical modelling is sensitively handled, with particular attention given to the musculature and expression, lending a quiet majesty to the piece. The entire surface has been meticulously finished in gold leaf, applied by hand to create a richly textured, luminous effect that shifts beautifully under light. Originally produced for a luxury interior or high-end retail environment, this piece was used as a display feature and retains excellent decorative impact. It would serve as a striking focal point in a wide range of settings—from glamorous contemporary interiors to curated commercial spaces, hotel lobbies, or theatrical displays. Materials: Resin with hand-applied gold leaf finish Dimensions: Height: 39 cm Width: 105 cm Depth: approx. 40 cm Condition: Very good overall condition. Light wear consistent with limited ex-display use, including minor marks and rubbing to the gilded surface in places, not detracting from the overall appearance.
