Commanding, substantial and made to anchor an entrance, this pair of seated guardian lions brings the presence of a European estate to your driveway, gate, staircase or courtyard. Each has a dramatic flowing mane, an expressive face and powerful paws on a formal plinth.
Every lion is made in the USA from solid concrete and hand-painted in our Michigan workshop. At about 700 pounds each, they are permanent architectural pieces — not garden decor.

Why buyers choose it

- Need just one? The same lion is sold singly
Choose your finish
Every piece is cast in solid concrete the same way. You choose how it is painted:
- Classic Stone — painted in an even, natural stone colour for a quiet, timeless look that sits easily in any garden. $15 less than Standard. Stone colours: Natural limestone, Weathered gray, Antique white, Sandstone, Charcoal.
- Standard — hand-painted exactly as you see it in the photos.
- Custom — painted by hand in the colours you choose. Describe them when you order and we read every request before we paint. $25 more than Standard.
Popular finish requests: natural architectural gray, vintage stone, aged verdigris, antique black or charcoal, textured gold or silver, sandy gold, khaki, bronze, beige, white or black. Choose Custom and describe the look you want.
Where to set them: each lion needs a level, load-bearing footing — a slab, pad or pier on either side of the driveway, gate or staircase. In freezing climates, keep the bases out of standing water.
When will it arrive?
- Ships in about 2 weeks. A lion this size is made to order: cast, cured, hand-finished, sealed and strapped to a pallet in our Warren, Michigan workshop.
- We call you within 2 business days of your order to agree a delivery window and check that a freight truck can reach your address. Please give a phone number at checkout.
- Free freight delivery by lift-gate truck to your curb or driveway. Freight transit usually takes 3–7 business days after pickup, depending on how far you are from Michigan.
- Plan for the last few feet. The driver lowers the pallet to the ground but does not carry it inside or set it in place — at about 700 lb, line up several strong helpers or equipment (a local landscaper or mover is ideal).
- Check the pallet before you sign. If anything looks damaged, note it on the driver’s paperwork and send us photos. Please be there for the window you book; freight lines can charge a fee if the driver is kept waiting.
Your purchase is 100% protected

Before you order
- No change-of-mind returns. Solid concrete is heavy and costly to ship back, so once a piece is delivered undamaged the sale is final. Damage, defects and mistakes are always covered, as above.
- Measure first. Check the size above against your spot. Not sure it will fit, or which finish to choose? Press Ask about this piece and we will help before you buy.
- Handmade means one of a kind. Each piece is cast and finished by hand, so small differences in color, texture and shape from the photos are normal — the mark of real handwork, not a fault.
The full policy is just below under Delivery, returns & exchanges, and on our Returns & Exchanges page.
Give your property the entrance it deserves — add the pair to your cart.
- Solid concrete is heavy by design. Set the piece on level, compacted ground or a solid slab.
- Move it with two or more people, or with equipment on the larger pieces. Lift from the base, never by the detail.
- The seal protects the paint outdoors. Re-sealing every few seasons keeps the colour strongest.
- In hard-freeze climates, drain any water feature and cover or store it before the first freeze.
Free freight delivery. Palletised, insured and delivered by freight line. We call ahead to book a window.
Because of what these pieces weigh, we do not accept change-of-mind returns — the freight cost on a piece this heavy would exceed what most of them are worth. Every order is fully insured in transit, so if anything arrives damaged our returns department will arrange a replacement or a refund, and you will never be asked to ship a broken piece back.
