Gifts: Whether you buy for yourself or for someone else as a gift, your lions will be carefully packed inside a lovely white box with the lion logo on top and a nice little gift card telling about the lions. NEW! The box will now also include a card with a brief history of the lions on the bridge! The cards are printed by a St. Augustine family-owned and operated business. The box will look great just the way it is without any gift wrap. The box will then be carefully packed inside a US Priority Mail box for shipping.  

You will find that most statuettes today are made with resin or a composition of resin and some other material. This is why they yellow with age and exposure to daylight.

The St. Augustine lion statuettes are special in every way. They are made of 90% genuine Carrara marble, the same marble the originals on the bridge boast of. They contain zero resin, plastic or other inexpensive binders. The lions are crafted by Old World artisans using a decades-old method with high quality materials. Your lions will retain their majestic white marble look and feel to be cherished for generations.

The replicas are made by artisans in Staffordshire, England who practice a difficult and dying art of hand-casting and hand-sculpting. They supply life size statues and small statuettes, like these lions, to governments and some of the most prestigious European galleries and art museums.

It is no wonder then that each set of lions is hand-cast with utmost attention to detail.

Thank you for visiting my website. My name is Gail Kraker. I moved to St. Augustine in 2011 with my hubby, Jeff, and our three coconut retrievers.

Like many others, I fell in love with the lions on the bridge. Where else in the New World do we see century old, hand sculpted Carrara marble statues of anything, much less beautiful lions?

I spent a year searching for small replicas of the lions for our home and got only disappointment. 

After three more years of wondering why and thinking people who love St. Augustine deserve better, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I made it my mission to bring the first and only marble replicas of the lions on the bridge, Faithful & Firm, to all who want replicas of the city’s icons in their own homes. 

I hope you’ll love the little lions as much as I do. They bring joy to our home and they've become almost human to me.

These care instructions are from the Old World makers of the little lion replicas:

No special care is needed, you can dust or clean as any other ornamental household object, they are very robust.

If they get very dirty, you can wash in warm soapy water. 

If you get a bad mark that will not remove with soapy water you can use a very fine abrasive paper to wipe it gently away.
