Bronze Lion Paperweight on White Marble Base with Monogram
Antique gilt bronze heraldic griffin mounted on a stone or alabaster base - likely late 19th to early 20th c
Depicts griffin rampant - mythological creature with an eagle's wings and lion's body
Supports a heraldic shield featuring a diagonal band with two charges - a lion passant (walking lion) and tower or rook - both traditional heraldic symbols of strength and vigilance
Resting on scrolling acanthus plinth with floral embellishments
Circa 1880-1920 - Neoclassical / Grand Tour / Victorian heraldic revival
Could have been made for noble or academic crest reproduction or architectural or desk ornament (maybe part of book ends?)
Central bolt indicates it was meant for tabletop display, suggesting desk accessory
