The \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003edark bronze patina\u003c\/span\u003e reads almost black at depth, lifting to warm black-green where the surface catches light across the mane and flank. Individual strands within the full flowing mane are cleanly defined, the musculature across the shoulders and haunches carries convincing surface texture, and the prominent claws on the extended forepaws are rendered with precision. The integral rectangular plinth is cast in the same bronze and finished to the same antique oxidation, giving the piece a unified, architectural presence. This is a \u003cspan class=\"highlight\"\u003elarge bronze lion statue\u003c\/span\u003e conceived for settings that can absorb its scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 240cm and 650kg, this sculpture belongs at the entrance of a country estate, flanking the gates of a commercial building, positioned within a grand hotel forecourt, or anchoring a formal interior hall with sufficient ceiling height. The dark patina reads well against stone, rendered render, pale limestone, and aged brick. It tolerates full outdoor exposure without surface degradation; bronze at this scale acquires a living patina over time that only deepens its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandmade to Order, Fully Customisable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer the full spectrum of bronze patinas from warm golden brown through mid-tone Roman bronze to this deep antique black-green. Scale can be adjusted for commissions requiring a larger monumental format or a reduced architectural fit. If you are considering a mirror-pair commission for a flanking installation, or a version inspired by the work of a specific classical sculptor, contact us before ordering so we can discuss the brief in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore our full range of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bronze-sculptures\"\u003eBronze Sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, browse the complete \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bronze-lion-statues\"\u003eBronze Lion Statues\u003c\/a\u003e collection, or view all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/life-size-bronze-statues\"\u003eLife-Size Bronze Statues\u003c\/a\u003e for comparable monumental works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e650 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53095909032283,"sku":"BRONZE-LION-STATUES-19","price":134575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/life-size-classical-recumbent-lion-bronze-sculpture-240cm_primary.jpg?v=1780198334","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/life-size-classical-recumbent-lion-bronze-sculpture-240cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
