Cast Bronze, Hand-Finished

Cast using the traditional lost-wax method, this life-size bronze lion statue achieves a level of surface resolution that sets it apart from reproduction castings. Every strand of the full flowing mane is individually defined; musculature across the shoulders and haunches reads with anatomical precision; claws and paw detail are fully articulated at the tips. The finish is a rich dark near-black bronze with a subtle blue-black sheen, applied by hand and sealed to resist weathering without losing the depth of tone that gives the piece its architectural gravitas. This is not a decorative approximation of a lion; it is a monumental bronze animal sculpture built to read as credible at life scale.

At 160cm and 650kg, the piece occupies space with genuine physical presence. It suits grand entrance halls, double-height lobbies, formal staircase landings, and exterior positions flanking gates, columns, or ceremonial thresholds. The dark patina holds well against stone, pale render, dark timber, and polished marble. Paired as mirrored sentinels, two pieces create an immediate guardian composition. Outdoors, the bronze weathers gracefully in all climates; indoors, it reads as museum-grade installation.

Handmade to Order, Fully Customisable

We offer the full range of traditional patina finishes: verde antique, warm golden brown, mid-tone classical brown, and this dark near-black finish as standard. Scale can be adjusted to suit your site, from a reduced interior version to an oversized monumental pair for a large estate or civic commission. If you have a specific commission in mind, including work inspired by the work of Fernando Botero or other figurative traditions, contact us before ordering to discuss scope and lead time.

Delivery to Your Address

Delivery is to the door or curbside at your shipping address.

For larger sculptures shipped by sea freight, the carrier will contact you in advance to arrange a delivery window. Please ensure someone is available to accept the delivery and that the property has suitable access for the size of the piece.

Once the sculpture arrives, you are responsible for positioning it in its final display location. For larger or heavier pieces, we recommend arranging two people (family, friends, or a local moving service) to help with placement.

International Orders & Customs

For orders shipping outside the United Kingdom, any customs duties, import taxes, or local fees at your destination country are the responsibility of the customer. These charges are set by your local authority and are not included in our shipping cost.

If you have questions about customs for your specific country, contact us before ordering and we can advise on typical charges for your region.

To start a return, contact us within 30 days of receipt. Return shipping for change-of-mind returns is at the customer's cost.

Bespoke and custom-commissioned pieces are non-refundable once production has started, as they are made specifically to your specification.
