Description
A seated winged lion in cast steel, the left-hand half of a facing pair for driveway gates and piers. This badge is 280mm tall and 170mm wide: a lion sitting upright in profile, with a smooth head and short snout, one tall feathered wing raised behind it and a long tail curling up in an S. This is the left-hand version, which faces right, so on the left-hand gate it looks in towards the centre. It is a heavy casting of about 1.9 kg with a hollow back, about 16mm deep. The price shown is for one left-hand lion; the matching right-hand lion is sold separately.
Why choose this badge
A true guardian pair. Fit this left-hand lion with the right-hand one and they face each other across the gates, the traditional way to guard an entrance.
Big and bold. At 280mm tall it stands out from the road on driveway gates, piers and estate railings.
Popular with customers. It is one of our best-reviewed cast ornaments, chosen for country houses, manors and grand entrances.
Hollow back, flat edge. The hollow back keeps the weight to about 1.9 kg and leaves a flat edge all round to weld or stud.
Where it is used
Top rails and centre panels of driveway gates, gate piers and pillars, estate and manor entrances, railings, garden walls and heraldic or themed features.

Fitting and care
Fit the left-hand lion on the left-hand gate or pier and the right-hand lion on the right, so they face each other across the opening. Clamp each one in place at the same height, check it is upright, tack it, check again, then weld out. It is heavy, so use a full weld or studs rather than adhesive.
Degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Black with a gold wing makes a dramatic finish. Hot-dip galvanising before powder coating gives the longest life outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one lion?
Yes, it is for one left-hand winged lion. For a facing pair, order this one and the right-hand lion.
Which way does it face?
This left-hand version faces right. The right-hand version faces left. Each is cast that way, so they cannot be turned round.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw cast steel and will rust if left bare outdoors, so prime and paint it, or galvanise it, once it is fixed.
Is it solid?
No. The back is hollow with a flat edge, which keeps the weight down to about 1.9 kg.
Are all the lions exactly the same?
They are cast from the same pattern, but cast parts vary by a millimetre or two and the surface texture varies slightly from one casting to the next.
