The Lion Paper Weight by Goossens is made of solid brass dipped in yellow gold. Created from a drawing by the artist Harumi Klossowska de Rola, the sleeping lion is the latest addition to the Lion family initiated by Robert Goossens with the Boule Lion for Gabrielle Chanel. To be used as a paperweight or simply a “house jewel”, this representation of quiet strength is deeply seductive.
Following their meeting in 1953, Gabrielle Chanel encouraged Robert Goossens to create his first decorative objects: a trio of gilded bronze lions supporting a rock crystal globe, followed by a water lily pedestal table and a table with a wheat sheaf base. These are now among Goossens’ most iconic creations. By entering the world of decorative arts, Goossens Paris demonstrated his ability to move from the scale of jewellery to that of furniture and art objects, using the same signature materials (gold-plated metal and rock crystals) and the same tools and techniques.
