About the Item

Antique Lion's Head in Polychrome and Cast Iron on Stand Just a wonderful antique lion’s head in heavy cast iron on a later stand. The lion most probably used to be a door ornament or door knocker - hence the two holes on either side of the lion’s mouth. Beautiful naive and detailed artifact with a very nice and decorative appearance. Great polychrome colors and fading, a perfect patina. Wonderful on a sideboard or on display in a collection of curiosities. The stand and mounting is very well done, completely in line with the patina and soul of the object itself. About ORNAMENTUM ORNAMENTUM - where we find perfection in imperfection, love a good patina and are always on the lookout for wonderful and unique pieces both vintage and antique. We are based in Belgium near the Dutch border.
