They are in the form of lion head motifs, likely made of brass or gilded metal, and were mounted to the wall to support cords or chains holding a picture.
The lion head design was popular in 19th to early 20th century French interior design.
The packaging shows "Marque Déposée EB Paris", indicating a registered trademark from a manufacturer with the initials "EB" in Paris.
These items are likely vintage or antique, possibly from the Belle Époque or early 1900s.
They’re not just functional but decorative — meant to add a noble or classical touch to the wall itself. A real antique with its own label! See less
