More info

Very nice reissue of a Lion's paw from the 19th century which was a symbol of justice and bravery.
Fragment of a sculpture that probably adorned the portal of a beautiful home, a fountain or a park, this lion paw was made of sandstone.
There is a legend surrounding the sandstone that it originated from an attempt by members of a monastic community in Italy to transmute metals into gold.
Hand carved by our craftsmen, its natural patina, aged and worn by time, gives it all its authenticity.
Some stones spend several months in our workshops to acquire the desired patina.
It should be noted that the magic of this stone lies in the mutation that takes place when the master craftsman wishes to sculpt it: he is obliged to wet it in order to make it crumbly and soft under his chisels.
As soon asit dries, it becomes "hard as stone"!

This decorative piece is both original and beautiful.
Can also be used as a bookend.
It can also be an unusual gift idea to enhance the interior of your loved ones.
It is perfect for decoration or to give as a gift!
