The cigar-smoking lion is impossible not to love. Perched atop a barrel and hoarding his treats, this whimsical character sits at the centre of a 1930s stained glass roundel that captures all the festive humour of Oktoberfest. Salvaged from a historic Los Angeles building, it’s a genuine period roundel rather than a modern reproduction, preserved in remarkable condition for over half a century. Vivid blue tones, warmed by golden highlights, make it stand out in any interior. Believed German in origin — related examples carry German inscriptions — it reflects the Bavarian traditions and playful artistry of early 20th-century stained glass. In good original condition for its age, it suits Gothic, Tudor, Spanish Revival or storybook interiors, and will instantly elevate a restoration or a private collection.
