Great Fountain Options: Lion Head Wall Fountain
You might have notice one while walking through a garden park. Fixed to the stonewall, bold mane-covered head leaning over a delicate pool, the lion head wall fountain is an intriguing feature wherever you find one. If you desire to add a sense of sophistication or that air of antiquity in the Greco-Roman style, then a lion head wall fountain could be a great choice for your garden.
For centuries now, the “king of beasts” has been used as a distinguished feature in fountains. Particular raw materials were used in the design of these fountains. Many of the earliest fountains were made with stone. Later, molds were used to create distinctive lion head designs in concrete and other materials. At the same time, metals like bronze, brass, and iron were used to cast the form of a lion head wall fountain. Stone and metal were brought together in fountain design by artisans in various parts of Europe. In the course of time, construction materials improved.
People’s interest in finely crafted fountains such as the lion head wall fountain continued, but the problems with working with traditional heavyweight 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 find the lightweight versions in styles that mimic the older ones.
One of the typical features of the lion head wall fountain is that water typically flows out of the lion’s mouth into a pool below. Outside of this, you may find some variety in the rest the lion head wall fountain construction. You can buy fountains that are made as one entire piece with the lion’s head attached to a wall with a bowl situated underneath. They are also made in forms that incorporate more than one bowl to create a gradual, cascading effect with the water flow. Some fountains are reduced to the essential lion’s head. This is especially true of bronze figurehead types that are installed directly on a wall prepared with water piping. Thus, the pool would be a separate component installed at the base.
While newer models of lion head wall fountains are made to mimic traditional, Old World designs, they also include modern water pumps and other accessories that make them very functional and easy to maintain.
Modern fountain design affords other perks as well. You can visit retail centers that have complete fountains that are available for installation out of the box. It is entirely possible to buy a lion head wall fountain for either outdoor or indoor usage, complete with a simple installation guide, and possibly with great extras like lighting elements for use at night. Keep in mind, that a retailer may give buyers great offers on prices or warranties for their products.
It doesn’t matter where you want a lion head wall fountain, it will be an excellent addition to your garden or home, lending a hint of elegance to your overall arrangment. This, as with any fountain, gives you a tranquil place to relieve your stress—and it’s also beautiful to look at. Picture the peaceful sound of water running from your lion head wall fountain. It’s great, isn’t it?
