The piece features a roaring lion, rendered with exceptional muscular detail and a flowing, stylized mane that creates a sense of fluid motion and raw energy. Crafted using a traditional silver plate over copper technique, the sculpture displays a sophisticated aged patina where the warm, reddish undertones of the copper subtly bleed through the silvered surface, highlighting the textured fur and the intensity of the lion’s expression. This natural wear adds a storied depth to the piece, emphasizing its authentic vintage character. The lion is mounted upon a minimalist black rectangular plinth, providing a stark architectural contrast that grounds the dynamic form of the animal. Typical of mid-century Italian craftsmanship, the sculpture balances classical anatomical observation with the sleek, bold lines characteristic of the later Art Deco movement. This evocative work serves as a commanding decorative statement, perfect for a mantel, desk, or library shelf, offering a blend of historical charm and timeless animalier artistry. It's in good condition with same losses on silver plate. See less
