FAQs

Lion masks have been utilised in classical architecture and furniture design since antiquity, experiencing a significant revival during the Baroque, Georgian and Victorian periods as symbols of strength and majesty.

Craftsmen typically used dense hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, and walnut, employing hand chisels and gouges to achieve high-relief details directly from solid timber blanks.

Authentication relies on examining tool marks, timber shrinkage, natural oxidisation, and the patina accumulated over centuries, which modern manufacturing processes cannot replicate accurately.

These pieces can be mounted directly onto walls as sculptural focal points or displayed on custom metal stands to bridge traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist spaces.

Preservation requires dusting with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood, avoiding liquid cleaners, direct sunlight, and extreme humidity fluctuations.
