Powerful and full of old-world charm, this Antique Gilded Metal Lion Presse Papier is a striking desk accessory like those treasured in elegant French homes of the 19th and early 20th century. Cast in metal and finished in warm hand-applied gilt, the lion stands proudly on a beveled plinth, his mane flowing and expression noble. The sculptor captured wonderful personality—strength, dignity, and a watchful presence.
Over time, the gilt surface has developed a beautiful soft patina, enhancing the contours of the mane and body and giving the piece the authentic glow. A classic symbol of courage and authority, this lion adds sophistication to your library, office, or mantel. Perfect for displaying on top of antique books or gifting to someone who adores distinctive, storied objects. A timeless decorative treasure.
