Resin Lion Sculpture – Strength & Nobility (98x55h50cm)

There is an image that everyone has in mind when we say "lion" — the animal lying down, head slightly raised, amber gaze fixed in the void of the horizon, and especially this mane that frames the head with a halo of power and majesty. This hand-painted polyresin lying lion statue captures this image with remarkable precision: 98x55xH50cm, 11.5kg — a life-size adult lion at rest, in the posture that has traversed all arts and cultures since antiquity.

The lying lion conveys an authority that standing does not — resting on its front paws, head held high, gaze encompassing the space in front of it, it does not need to rise to impose its presence. The mane is sculpted with all its density and nuances — dark and thick around the head and neck, lighter towards the shoulders, with the details of each tuft and the natural color variations between dark brown and gold that characterize the adult lion in its full maturity. The sandy-ochre fur of the body, shorter and denser, is hand-painted in high-density polyresin (polystone) with all its natural nuances — darker on the back, lighter on the belly.

Frost resistant down to -20 °C, treated with anti-UV. Balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. 2-year warranty, reinforced packaging.

• The mane — the absolute signature of the adult male lion : no other animal in the catalog has such a spectacular ornament. The mane of the adult lion is sculpted with all its density and nuances — dark and thick around the head and throat, lighter towards the shoulders, with each individual strand visible. It is what makes the lion the most immediately identifiable and imposing sculpture of all the big cats.
• 98cm long, 11.5kg — life-size of the lying lion : classified Large (61-100cm), this sculpture reproduces the actual proportions of an adult male lion in a lying position. An adult lion measures between 1.4m and 2m long — lying down, the 98cm of this sculpture corresponds to its proportions in this compact and powerful posture.
• Lying posture — authority at rest : front legs extended, head held high thanks to the imposing mane, direct and intense gaze — the posture of the king of the savanna who does not need to rise to impose his authority. This is the most used posture in art and architecture since antiquity to represent power, nobility, and protection.
• Sandy-ochre fur and hand-painted golden-brown mane : the contrast between the dark and thick mane and the lighter fur of the body is rendered with its natural nuances — dark brown towards the center of the mane, more golden towards the edges, sandy-ochre nuanced on the body. A multi-layered hand painting work.
• 11.5kg, 98x55cm on the ground — perfect stability : its weight and wide footprint ensure perfect stability without anchoring in an outdoor garden or on a terrace. The lying posture gives it a wide and stable footprint.
• The most classic and universal piece in the lions catalog : the reclining lion with its mane is a millennia-old architectural and decorative image — from Egyptian sphinxes to the lions of Trafalgar Square, this posture immediately conveys nobility and power. A bold purchase, a timeless presence. 2-year guarantee.

• At the entrance of a property or garden — as a reclining guardian : this is the most classic and effective placement for the reclining lion. A single lion facing the entrance, or two lions facing each other on either side of a gate or portal — the most traditional and immediately recognizable composition in all garden decoration. Its reclining posture makes it particularly stable and visible in this position.
• At the edge of a path or along a garden walkway : placed in profile along a path, the lion seems to watch over the passage from its post. The mane is particularly visible from the side — this is the angle that best reveals its characteristic silhouette.
• On a large terrace, in a corner or against a wall : its reclining posture allows it to fit into a terrace space without invading the flow of movement. Against a wall, in a corner, or at the center of an open space, it creates an immediate focal point of prestige.
• In a couple composition with the reclining lioness : reclining lion (38.5in, mane) + reclining lioness (45.7in, no mane) in the same space — the most natural and balanced pair of lions in the catalog. The difference between the male's imposing mane and the female's fine head creates a very effective and realistic contrast.
• In a professional space with a prestige or savanna theme : hotel, restaurant, park entrance, institutional space — the reclining lion is the ultimate prestige sculpture. Its millennia-old guardian posture immediately imparts a note of nobility and authority to any space where it is installed.
