An antique shop as it should be. High quality and a knowledgeable owner who provides enthusiastic explanations. Due to the high quality, not a bargain paradise, but certainly reasonable given what is on offer.

Nice bronze cast of a recumbent and roaring lion. His mighty head upraised and looking to the right. The curling tail and one pawn is overleaping the rectangular base. This inscribed cast is after a model by Barye and probably executed by Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810-1892) who was the first posthumous editor of Antoine Louis Barye. (1796-1875) With brown-black patination. On black marble base (repaired).
F. Rionnet, Les Bronzes de Barbedienne (Paris, 2016), p514: 'Ferdinand Barbedienne est le premier éditeur posthume de Barye par le nombre d'oeuvres éditées'. See illustration plate LVIII.
