AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Heavy-cast bronzed wrought-iron lion, 10 kg.
Dimensions: H 36 cm x 20 x 13 cm
This imposing lion is finished in an antique bronze tone on wrought iron and exudes power, dignity, and royal allure. He sits upright in a stately pose with the front paws firmly placed side by side on a rectangular pedestal. The richly detailed mane falls in flowing locks along the neck and chest, giving the sculpture a lively and refined appearance.
On its head the lion wears a graceful open crown with decorative fleur-de-lis-like ornaments and a pearl rim, a symbol of power, nobility, and protection. The piercing eyes, carefully sculpted snout, and finely wrought claws emphasize the craftsmanship and give the sculpture a realistic, majestic expression.
The warm bronze finish with subtle dark patina accents enhances the antique character and beautifully brings out the fine details. This decorative statue makes a striking centerpiece that fits perfectly in both a classic and historically inspired interior or collection.

Preferably to be collected in 3770 Riemst, but can also be shipped.
Shipping costs within Europe are listed for the surrounding countries. For example, for Norway or Portugal additional costs may be requested in consultation with the customer.
Tip: you can also pick it up on a Sunday morning because there is, 8 km from home, the weekly large Antique Market in Tongeren (people from all over the world come to this weekly antique market). You could pick it up there during the market on Sunday.
Riemst is also 8 km from Maastricht and 20 km from Liège.
