Antique tall tagans with a Victorian-style barrier. Brass, patina, casting. The tags are decorated with a sculptural image of muscular lions with an open mouth and a clawed paw raised up. Stylized coats of arms are depicted above the lion figures. The complex supporting structure is decorated with swirls and floral ornaments. The lion is a symbol of independent power and patronage, which was often found in the heraldry of noble families. Nobility, bravery, greatness, and strength are all characteristics that accompany the image of this beast. Europe, XX century.
