For my G&T pedestal I'm looking for the 4 brass lion heads on the corners.
On internet I can find a guy from Australia who's selling all the hardware - but that's for a Melba pedestal (G&T as well, but other lion heads...).
Any suggestions ?

A little too large maybe?

Re: Brass lion heads for G&T pedestal
Thanks for the answers… a copy of the original lion heads is preferred…
Nobody who can make a copy/casting so I can ask a blacksmith (?) to make some new copies ?

Do you need a casting or fabrication shop?

Thanks Garret: I do need a casting and a fabrication shop...
First of all I do need the original part which I can use to make a mould - do you have the original part (lion head) ?
Also: if there're more collectors who needs a copy, if there's a mould more copies can be made...

Re: Brass lion heads for G&T pedestal
As Dimitri already wrote, these are not the correct lion heads for the oak pedestal. The original castings are rarer than the pedestals themselves, as they have been removed rather often.
This is what he is looking for (unfortunately I do not have a sample of it):
