About this collection
This page holds 20 lion statues from ₹565, with listed heights from 1.5 to 15 inch. 18 are brass and 2 are aluminium. Most are table showpieces, a few are living room and entrance pieces, and one is a very large brass casting of 188.2 kg priced at ₹5,41,315.
Start with the spot. The 1.5 to 4.5 inch lions are paperweight-size pieces for a desk or a display shelf. The 6 inch lion suits a side table or an office cabinet. The 12 inch lions are made for a living room or an entrance, and buyers often take two to stand on either side of a door. If you want a pair, add two of the same listing and check that both face the way you need from the photos. Then check the weight, which starts at 160 g. A brass lion on a glass shelf should be well under what the shelf can carry, and the heaviest piece here needs a prepared floor and a team to move it. The two aluminium lions, at 5.6 inch, are the light choice.
The mane is deep relief work and holds dust. Brush it out with a soft dry toothbrush before you polish the smooth body with lemon and salt.
