A lion with shield in right paw
NICHOLLS, Thomas (Maker of animals for Cardiff Castle wall, c 1887)
These plaster models (maquettes) were made by Thomas Nicholls from William Burges’ original drawings for Cardiff Castle’s ‘Animal Wall’. The Marquis of Bute commissioned Burges to restore Cardiff Castle in 1869, and the ‘Animal Wall’ is perfectly in keeping with his spectacular and playful Gothic-style interior.
