A 19th-century English antique brass lion passant, cast in bold relief with stylised mane, muscular torso, and upright posture. Likely designed as a fireplace overmantel ornament or architectural mount, this sculptural fragment evokes Victorian fascination with heraldry, symbolism, and decorative grandeur.
The brass retains a warm patina with traces of oxidation and wear consistent with age. Its compact form and characterful detailing make it ideal for display, integration into bespoke interiors, or use in restoration projects.
A rare and whimsical survival of 19th-century English metalwork — perfect for collectors of decorative arts, architectural salvage, or symbolic sculpture.
