Happy Christmas Everyone!!
I've had this pair of majestic lions for a while and just now getting around to posting them. They're made of cast iron and the detail of these two majestic lions is just amazing to me. I would expect to see that in bronze, but not cast iron. These were cast at a foundry in Belgium no later than 10-20 years ago. They were extremely rusty when I took ownership of them, but I was able to clean them and polish them with a few coats of transparent wax. They stand nearly 12" tall and weigh 11.75lbs each.
Merry Christmas to all of my CW friends and thank you for stopping in for a look!!

Where a lion represents courage and bravery, the crown represents leadership, power and dominance.
Very Nice!

Merry Christmas Scott! I like the look of these, they still have that rusty look.

These are amazing! your cast iron (and other metals) collection is impressive!
Heraldic lions are always collector faves, I love to see them here actually wearing the crown. I think here they are better in cast iron than bronze. I always think highly of cast iron as they are the best when done well !~
Lata,
Many many thanks to you!! That the greatest compliment anyone could ever giver a collector. Very much appreciated!!!!
Phil,
I thank you a million times over! This pair of lions are definitely quality castings. I agree, cast iron can produce better casting than bronze in some cases. Thank you again my friend!! Always greatly appreciated.
