A solid cast brass lion — a walking male with a hand-chased mane. No base, no stand, no tack — all four legs are cast to a common ground plane, so he stands square on oak, stone or leather. Cool to the touch, dense for his size, and detailed enough to hold up under a lamp.

Overview

Most desks are all function — monitor, keyboard, mug, cable. Nothing on them you would pick up for its own sake.

Leo is a solid brass lion the length of your thumb. Real metal, cast in one piece, with enough detail to hold up close — and small enough to sit in the corner nobody uses.

Care

Dust it with a dry cloth or a soft brush — a clean make-up brush suits the mane. Leave it alone and it darkens naturally, or work a trace of brass polish onto the raised surfaces for more shine.

Materials

Solid cast brass — a copper alloy, cast as one piece with no seams or fixings — antiqued so the patina holds dark in the recesses while the raised surfaces are polished back to warm gold.

  • Size: 38.5 mm long, 22 mm tall, ~13 g
  • Stands: All four legs cast level, no base needed
  • Finish: Antiqued, unlacquered — darkens with handling

Earns its spot

Holds a corner of the desk

Small enough to sit between a keyboard and a lamp base without becoming one more thing on the desk. On a shelf he tucks in front of the spines; on a desk he holds the corner nobody uses.

Real metal

It sits well in the hand

Solid brass in a small volume has a particular feel — cool, dense, a shade heavier than the eye expects. It sits between a thumb and one finger, which is where most owners end up keeping it while they think.

The detail

The mane holds the patina

The mane grooves are cut deep, so the dark patina settles into them and the polished brass stands proud on the ridges. At this size that only reads up close — which is where it lives, an arm's length away.

The detail holds up under a lamp

The detail holds up completely under a desk lamp, and it is properly solid rather than hollow. Lives on my bookshelf in front of a row of paperbacks and it is the thing visitors pick up.

I pick it up without deciding to

I keep it beside the keyboard and I have noticed I pick it up on phone calls without deciding to. Cool metal, dense for the size, and the tail curve is genuinely elegant — better in the hand than on a screen.

The patina is doing the work

The dark finish sits only in the recesses — the mane grooves, under the belly, between the legs — and the raised brass is polished back bright, so it reads much older than it is. Stands dead level on oak with no wobble at all.

Frequently asked questions

What size is it?
38.5 mm long and 22 mm tall — about the length of your thumb to the first knuckle. The third image shows it held between a thumb and finger.
Is it solid brass or plated?
Solid. Cast as one piece in brass with no seams or fixings — not a hollow pressing, not resin with a metallic coat. It is left unlacquered, so you are touching the metal itself.
Does it stand on its own?
Yes. All four legs are cast level, so it stands square on oak, stone, glass or leather — no base, stand or tack needed.
Will it darken over time?
Yes, and most owners want it to — unlacquered brass deepens with handling and makes the antiqued finish read older. A trace of brass polish on the raised surfaces brings the shine back if you would rather keep it bright.
