This is for a fabulous piece, its an antique bronze paperweight fashioned as the winged lion of Venice standing on an open book. The statue in Venice came to symbolize the City and this would have been a souvenir from the city, its almost certainly a grand tour piece and it dates to the early 1800s. The bronze figure sits on a polished plinth and this gives it a wonderful contrast, its a really well detailed figure, it displays magnificentlyand it is in excellent condition. The base measures 109mm (4.25\") x 59mm (2.25\") and it stands 85mm (3.25\") tall.
