The lion's open mouth features a threaded central opening sized to accept a gas lamp jet or burner tip. Mounting holes are present at the tips of the rays for wall attachment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe threaded opening and its small diameter are consistent with a gas fitting rather than a water pipe connection, and the decorative sunburst surround suggests an interior architectural application. While lion-head forms are common across both gas fixtures and fountain spouts, the scale and threading of this example support identification as a gas wall fixture component.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brass shows overall patina and surface oxidation consistent with age.","brand":"Granite Union Auction Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663193534753,"sku":"20260514-LOT007","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9101\/9067\/files\/20260514-0052_360d9a19-3cbb-4b4b-a70d-9fd87e8c21ff.jpg?v=1778519610","url":"https:\/\/graniteunionauction.com\/products\/antique-solid-brass-lion-and-sunburst-gas-wall-fixture-backplate-with-threaded-mouth-opening-20260514","provider":"Granite Union Auction Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
