Try A Lion Head Wall Fountain To Get A Perfect Effect
You might have notice one while walking through a garden park. Mounted on the stonewall, bold mane-covered head leaning over a delicate pool, the lion head wall fountain is an eye-catching feature wherever you find one. Whether you want to create a sense of elegance or an ambiance of Old World, Greco-Roman tradition, including a stately lion head wall fountain in your home garden could be the right move.
Over the centuries, the noble “king of the beasts” has appeared in various types of fountains. A variety of raw materials were used in the design of these fountains. Earlier fountains were made of stone. Later developments provided the means to make molds that could be used to fabricate lion heads from materials such as concrete. Similarly, metals including brass, bronze, and iron were used for casting the distinctive lion head wall fountain. Stone and metals were artfully blended to create types of designs that reflected the part of Europe where they were produced. Hundreds of years went by while the quality of construction material became more sophisticated
People’s interest in finely crafted fountains such as the lion head wall fountain continued, but the difficulties of working with older and heavier materials was lessened by using new materials such as fiberglass, resin, and some specialized plastics. Even though metal and stone are still used in fountain construction, you can buy the lightweight materials in styles that mimic the older ones.
Perhaps, one of the most familiar features on a lion head wall fountain is the fact that water flows from the mouth into the basin below. Other than this, you may obtain a lion head wall fountain in all sorts of creative designs. Some fountains are fabricated as one piece, with stone construction that includes the ornate lion’s head mounted directly over a water basin. You can find them made with multiple bowls that allow the water to cascade down. Other fountains are little more than the lion’s head. A good example may be when you have the bronze or brass figurehead which is mounted on a wall structure containing the appropriate tubing. Thus, the pool would be a separate component installed at the base.
Even though the newer models of lion head wall fountains are meant to imitate traditional styles, they have the benefits of modern pumps and other accessories that offer both functionality and simple maintenance.
There are other benefits included with contemporary fountain designs. Retail businesses offer a host of fountains that come ready for installation. You can get a lion head wall fountain for indoor and outdoor use, complete with instructions, as well as extras like lighting fixtures that can be used to illuminate your fountain at night. Retailers today are prepared to make deals on their pricing as well as provide incentives such as warranties on their fountains.
No matter where you want one, a lion head wall fountainis an attractive addition to your space, adding just a touch of elegance to cap your classy design. Not only are these fountains great to look at, they all offer what all water fountains do, a focal point for serenity. Picture the peaceful sound of water running from your lion head wall fountain. What could be better?
