Lion statue decor has been a common art form since ancient times, usually cast in bronze or carved from marble.

Next, I will recommend 7 popular choices for lion statue decor.
Why Place Bronze Lion Statue at the Gate Entrance?
The lion has always been a symbol of power, strength and courage, so it is sought after by people.

Lion statue decoration is considered auspicious and can ward off evil spirits. Therefore, YouFine has provided lion statues of different designs to customers all over the world and placed them at the customer’s home entrance, which not only changed the space but also brought good blessings to people.
Top1. Landseer Lions
The famous four-headed lion statues surrounding Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square are commonly known as Landseer’s Lions. These black lions lie there rather than stand or prowl, thereby better embodying Nelson’s majestic heroism.

YouFine can customize these bronze lions for you using the traditional lost wax method.

YouFine is Your Excellent Choice for Buying Bronze Lion Statues
We Have Realistic Clay Models of Lion
A realistic enough lion clay model is the prerequisite for casting a high-quality bronze lion statue because it determines all the details. YouFine’s artists have a deep understanding of the lion’s body structure and living habits, so the clay model carved out is lifelike, with realistic hair and body proportions. Even in mud, we can feel the lion’s majestic form.
We Use the Lost Wax Method
The bronze lion statue cast by the traditional lost wax method has long-lasting quality. Each sculpture must go through at least 33 steps, and each step is strictly controlled by professionals. During the casting process, we introduced silica sol technology, which is a technique that can effectively avoid white spots or green spots on the sculpture. In addition, the bronze lion statue painted with patina will have a beautiful color that is light in tone, long-lasting and not easy to fall off.
We Offer Unbeatable Prices
YouFine has its bronze factory and can provide every customer with unparalleled factory prices. The more you buy, the greater the discounts. YouFine is a supplier rather than a dealer, so there is no middleman between us and our customers to earn the price difference.
