Anna Petrus was a Swedish sculptor and designer who was born Anna Petersson. She inherited a small fortune at age 11 when her mother died, which enabled her to educate in London and travel to Italy and France. Anna Petrus had her international breakthrough at the Paris World Fair in 1925, where she displayed pewter and cast iron objects in the Swedish Grace style. In 1924, she began collaborating with the newly established Firma Svenskt Tenn. The lion became a recurring motif in Anna Petrus' production as sculptures and decorations. After her death, Anna Petrus' work was almost forgotten, but in recent years, it has been rediscovered and her sculptures are now sought-after objects.
