White marble lion standing on a tall moulded pedestal, jaws open and head turned
Standing Lion on a Moulded Pedestal Marble Statue - 220cm $35,45900
Description

A lion stands on a tall moulded pedestal with its head turned outward and its jaws open, its forepaws set at the front edge of the cap. The mane falls in long waves to a deep fringe at the chest and the body is modelled lean behind it. The pedestal has a projecting moulded cap, a sunk field on each face and a stepped base, and carries about half the overall height. The marble is white with grey veining running strongly through the pedestal. The two versions differ in the stance: one stands square to the front, the other turns side-on with the body in view.

A Pedestal Dressed on All Four Faces

A pedestal against a wall is finished on three sides. This one is meant to stand in the open at a gate, so all four faces are dressed, all four carry a sunk field, and the mouldings have to return round every corner and meet exactly. That is the fussy part. A moulding run is cut with a template drawn along the face, and where two runs meet at a corner the profiles must arrive at the same depth at the same point or the mitre reads as a step. The carver works the four faces in rotation rather than finishing one at a time, checking each corner against the one opposite, so any drift shows up while there is still stone to correct it with.

At 220cm the lion stands well above head height and the head is turned outward, which is the arrangement this piece is composed for - it is composed to be seen from below and slightly to one side rather than examined at arm's length. It belongs on a gate pier, at the end of a balustrade, or squarely at the top of a broad flight where the approach runs straight up to it. It needs a firm level bed: the pedestal is tall and narrow relative to its height, so the ground under it matters more than it would for a low piece. White marble with strong grey veining reads clearly against brick and against dark hedging.

Above Head Height, and Turned Outward

Eighteen to twenty weeks for one lion and its pedestal. The pedestal courses are cut and dressed first, the beds worked flat and tested against each other, and the mouldings run on all four faces in rotation. The sunk fields are cut after the mouldings, not before, so their margins can be set off the finished moulding line. The lion is carved from its own block: roughed standing, with the forepaws left thick where they sit at the cap edge, then the flank and hind leg brought down lean, then the mane worked outward to inward and the chest fringe undercut. The head is turned late, once the body is stable. Assembly is last, courses bedded up in order and the lion set on the cap. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 6,214kg for one lion and pedestal, craned in courses onto a poured concrete foundation.

Other entrance beasts are in animal sculptures, and tall pieces under life size large statues.

Two large, black bear-shaped sculptures stand indoors near a window with a view of a yard. One sculpture is in the foreground with its back to the viewer, and the other faces forward, creating a mirrored effect. Trees and a chair are visible outside.
A shiny metallic bear sculpture stands on the corner of a modern buildings patio, mirrored by another similar black figure in the foreground. The area features minimalistic architecture with large glass windows.
