1880-1920 Pair of Antique British Lead Ram Head Wall Mounts, Victorian Architectural Garden Ornaments

$1,800.00
A rare matched pair of cast lead architectural ram’s head mounts, dating to the late Victorian or Edwardian period, circa 1880–1920. Each sculptural element is crisply cast in high-relief, depicting the stylized head of a ram with elegantly coiled horns and detailed facial features. These pieces were likely designed as ornamental wall mounts for a garden or estate, affixed to a stone or brick surface via the original rear mounting hole. The lead has developed a soft grey patina consistent with outdoor exposure over many decades. Measuring approximately 8.25 inches high by 10 inches wide and projecting 3 inches from the wall, they present a bold yet classical decorative statement. Such leadwork was characteristic of British garden ornamentation in the late 19th century, drawing on neoclassical and pastoral motifs. These are authentic period pieces, not modern recasts. Sold as a pair. Dimensions (each): Height: 8.25 in (21 cm) Width: 10 in (25.5 cm) Projection: 3 in (7.5 cm) Condition: Weathered surface with minor casting irregularities and oxidation typical of period leadwork. Structurally sound with original mounting holes intact.
