Antique French Bronze Sculpture of a Pacing Lion

This is a truly magnificent antique French bronze sculpture of a pacing lion, by the noted French sculptor of the Animeliers school, Paul Edouard Delabrierre (1829 – 1912), circa 1870 in date.

This magnificent bronze sculpture features a striking lion pacing, his feet planted resolutely on the earth while being ready to attack, his face turned towards the viewer with his eyes emanating energy and concentration. All the glory of the animal comes through - the sculptor did everything to make the figure stand out in space, making the whole sculpture vivid and enjoyable.

The bronze base is signed 'E. Delabrierre'.

This high-quality hot cast solid bronze was produced using the traditional "lost wax" process, otherwise known as the "cire perdue" method.

This is a splendid antique bronze sculpture of the Animalier school, which is sure to receive the maximum amount of attention wherever it is placed.
