Antique Bronze Finish Lion Sculpture Once Gilded Ormolu
Exquisite small bronze-finish, crouching Lion, which displays evidence of having once been gilded, and was probably an ormolu item on a large garniture set. He is of white metal with a bronze finish; the gilt would have covered him completely. He is beautifully and intricately formed, measures 5" (12.70 cm) long, about 2.50" (6.35 cm) wide, and about 2" (5.08 cm) tall. Condition is as described and as seen in the photos, with most of the remaining gilt near and on the base. From the collection of one who collected 17th-19th Century lions. c. 18th-19th Century. $12 US Shipping. [see our item no. 3120 for another lion from the same collection.]
