Inspired by classical Greek and Roman ornament, the lion traditionally represented strength, courage, and nobility. During the 19th and 20th centuries, these classical motifs were frequently revived in decorative metalwork, with lion heads and ring handles becoming especially popular details on brass planters, jardinieres, and cachepots designed for the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally intended as a decorative planter or cachepot, this vintage brass vessel has been thoughtfully repurposed into a candle, preserving its beautifully aged finish and ornamental character while giving it a warm and functional second life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vessel has been filled with 23 oz of all-natural soy wax and now features three wicks for an even, controlled burn across its generous surface. *\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note that some photographs may show this candle with four wicks.
