Nothing announces an entrance like a pair of guardian lions with real weight behind them. Each 40-inch seated lion has a dramatic flowing mane, an expressive face and powerful paws resting on a formal plinth. It is the classic look of a European estate gate, cast in solid concrete in our Michigan workshop.
At about 700 pounds each, these are permanent architectural pieces, not garden decor. Set one on each side of a driveway, gate, courtyard or front steps.
What you’re getting
- Two lions: the price is for a pair, the same lions we sell singly
- Size: each lion is 40″ tall on a base about 16″ wide × 24″ deep
- Weight: about 700 lb of solid concrete each, about 1,400 lb for the pair
- Finish: both hand-painted in the finish you choose, then sealed for outdoor display
- Made by hand in Warren, Michigan: poured, cured, hand-finished and sealed in our own workshop
- Free, insured delivery: included in the price, with nothing to add at checkout
Why buyers choose it
- Unmistakable presence: a matched pair scaled for gates, front steps, driveways and business entrances
- Built to stay: far too heavy to tip, shift or walk off
- Hand-finished detail: mane, face and paws are picked out by hand, so no two are identical
- One order, one finish: both lions are made and finished together, so the pair matches at your entrance

Paint questions
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close. Each piece is cast and painted by hand, so small differences in colour and texture are normal — the mark of real handwork, not a fault.
Can I order it unpainted?
Ask us before you order and we will tell you if that piece can be sent unpainted for you to paint yourself.
Can you paint it to match my pet or my house?
Yes. Choose Custom and describe the colours. A photo helps: reply to your order confirmation email with one.
How do I keep the colours bright?
The seal protects the paint outdoors. Re-sealing every few seasons keeps the colour strongest.
Not sure which finish to choose?
Press Ask about this piece and we will help before you buy.
Popular finish requests: natural architectural gray, vintage stone, aged verdigris, antique black or charcoal, textured silver, sandy gold, bronze, beige, white or black. Choose Custom and describe the look you want.
Where to set them: on a solid, level base that carries weight, such as a concrete pad, stone, heavy pavers or a pier. On soft ground a piece this heavy can settle and lean. In freezing climates, keep the bases out of standing water.
When will it arrive?
- Ships in 1–3 weeks. Lions this size are made to order. They are cast, cured, hand-finished, sealed and strapped for freight 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 freight to the ground but does not carry it inside or set it in place. At about 700 lb per lion, line up several strong helpers or equipment. A local landscaper or mover is ideal.
- Check the delivery 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
- Insured in transit, at no cost to you. If a lion arrives chipped, cracked or broken, send us photos within 7 days of delivery and choose a replacement or a full refund. You will never be asked to ship a broken lion back.
- Wrong piece, a casting fault or a missing part? We put it right at our cost. We send the correct piece, a replacement or refund for a genuine defect (reported within 30 days), or the missing part shipped free.
- Need to cancel? Cancel before it ships for a full refund. On hand-painted and custom work, we refund all the work we have not yet started.
- Secure checkout by Stripe. Your card details go straight to Stripe’s encrypted payment page and never touch our website.
- Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 650+ Etsy buyers. All three of our Etsy shops are Star Sellers. That is the badge Etsy gives for consistent 5-star reviews, on-time shipping and quick replies. Together the shops have more than 2,900 sales.
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, and allow room for two bases. Not sure they 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 lion is cast and finished by hand, so small differences in color, texture and shape between the two lions and from the photos are normal. That is 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 entrance a pair of guardians. Add your lions to the 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.
