Marie Rehnberg, "Anna Petrus Skulptör, industrikonstnär och pionjär", (2009), Arena förlag, 2022, pp 969-96. The freestanding lion by Petrus was used on several different objects, such as bookends and on these andirons. But also in certain collaborations together with Uno åhrén, an umbrella stand and as seen in the previous lot, the radiator screen.
