Victorian Bronze Lion & Shield Inkwell 1861
A striking and dignified Victorian inkwell, featuring a crowned lion proudly holding a shield an unmistakable nod to British heraldry and national symbolism. This finely cast piece stands with impressive presence, its sculptural form blending both utility and artistry.
The lion, rendered with expressive detail in the mane, face, and paws, supports a smooth, unengraved shield that would once have served as a blank for initials or a personal crest. The crowned head lifts to reveal the inkwell compartment beneath, cleverly concealed within the figure. It rests on a stepped circular base that gives the piece weight, stability, and a bold architectural feel.
