Antique 19th century gilded plaster lion’s head
This distinctive Victorian wall mount depicts a stately lion’s head. It was cast in plaster and gilded in France during the 19th century, reflecting the decorative taste of the period.

After more than a century, the wall mount remains in worn condition and shows clear signs of age.
