Walking Lion perfectly captures the majesty and might of one of the world’s most admired predators in bronze.
Sculpted by Sue Maclaurin over a four month period, before being cast in bronze in our British foundry, this Walking Lion sculpture is cast as a strictly limited edition of just 250 castings worldwide.
Sue Maclaurin has spent her life living in the deepest wilds of both England and Africa. She grew up surrounded by wildlife, filling her sketchbooks with the animals she so loves. Since she first began to sculpt, studies of the wildlife of Africa have been very close to her heart, so we are delighted to finally welcome her first African wildlife subject to our collection.
Walking Lion outstandingly captures the contained might and power of one of nature’s most magnificent animals as it solitarity and assuredly patrols its territory.
Every casting of Walking Lion bears the artist’s signature, its unique edition number and our NF maker’s mark, which, combined with the artist signed and numbered certificate of authenticity, is your guarantee that this is an original Nelson & Forbes foundry bronze casting of a sculpture by Sue Maclaurin.
Whether to stride across a mantelpiece, be displayed proudly on a desk or as an elegant addition to a side table, Sue Maclaurin’s Walking Lion looks at home in every setting and makes a sensational gift for every occasion.
Arriving beautifully presented in our elegant grey Nelson & Forbes gift box, accompanied by its own artist signed and numbered certificate, this is the perfect present for the ‘Lion’ (or cub) in your life!

How We Make Our Sculptures
We use the ancient art of Lost Wax Casting to hand cast your sculpture in solid bronze metal, never resin or ‘cold cast’ bronze. Each time a piece is cast, a new mould is created and then destroyed, ensuring that every sculpture you purchase from us is utterly unique. Each piece is individually numbered by hand, indicating its specific casting number within the edition, and bears the artist’s signature, and our ‘NF’ maker’s mark.
Creation of the Master Mould
A single-use mould is meticulously created from the original artwork. This is the heart of the process—every detail captured here will be perfectly replicated in bronze. Molten wax is then poured into this mould, creating a precise duplicate of the artist’s original sculpture.
The Bronze Pour
The wax model is coated in a ceramic shell and then fired in a kiln, a process that melts and “loses” the wax. This creates a hollow ceramic mould. Molten bronze, heated to an incredible 1200°C/2200°F, is immediately poured into this mould. Once cooled, the ceramic shell is carefully broken away, revealing the raw bronze sculpture inside.
Hand Finishing & Patina
The raw bronze sculpture is expertly hand-finished by our skilled artisans. This final stage is where the sculpture’s character comes to life. Our craftsman applies heat and a chemical patina to the sculpture, creating a unique colour and effect. Finally, a protective wax coating is carefully applied and polished, giving the sculpture a beautiful, lustrous finish.
Authenticity & Numbering
Every piece is numbered by hand, authenticating its place within the limited edition and ensuring your sculpture is truly unique. It also bears our ‘NF’ maker’s mark, and the artist’s signature, a final mark of authenticity and quality.
