Finding the Right sculptures-carvings for You
Asian sculptors have worked in materials including wood, bronze and jade. Artists and artisans have used traditional techniques to depict deities, scenes from culture and more, and today, antique Asian sculptures and carvings are a popular choice for provocative and sophisticated home decor.
In China, the Qing dynasty, from the mid-17th century to the early 20th century, brought about significant changes in art while preserving traditional culture. Many emperors during this period were patrons of the arts, such as painting, calligraphy and decorative arts. This era saw the building of new Buddhist temples, which were decorated with statues. Some of these sculptures were adorned with colorful cloisonné decoration, in which tiny compartments, or cloisons, made by soldering copper filaments to a metal surface were filled with vibrantly hued enamel.
From the 17th to mid-19th century in Japan, kimonos were worn across classes and often fastened with a netsuke, a type of small carved toggle. Artists carved these from ivory, wood, shells and coral, creating animals, flowers and mythical creatures. During the Japanese Meiji period, spanning from 1868–1912, the country began trading internationally after centuries of isolation, allowing artists to sell their work overseas. Bronze sculpture flourished around this time for creating teapots, vases and incense burners.
Asian sculpture continued to evolve in the 20th century. During the Japanese Shōwa era, from 1926–89, art was influenced by international modernist movements like abstraction, Futurism and Surrealism. Contemporary Asian sculptures and carvings continue to combine global influences and a rich heritage of technique.
Decorating a space with Asian sculptures and carvings is a great way to add interest to any corner of your home. Explore by material, period or style on 1stDibs.
Questions About Old Buddha Statue
- What do Buddha statues mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 21, 2020
The most commonly represented Buddha in Chinese Buddhist sculpture is Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Shakyamuni, the Enlightened One, or the Gautama Buddha. He is typically depicted seated upon a lotus throne with his hands in the Bhumisparsha mudra, the Gesture of Witness. This gesture symbolizes the moment that the Buddha claimed the earth as witness to his enlightenment and celebrates his unwavering meditative focus.
- Are Buddha statues Chinese?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022China is just one of the many countries that has a tradition of Buddhist sculpture. You can find Buddha statues from many other regions like India and Japan. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique and modern Buddha statues from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The purpose of a Buddha statue relates to worship in the Buddhist faith. It provides a point of focus and reflection for Buddhists when they engage in the meditation required to achieve enlightenment. Find a selection of Buddha statues on 1stDibs.
- How do I choose a Buddha statue?1 Answer
Lotus GallerySeptember 23, 2020A Buddha statue is very personal. You should choose one that speaks to you. If you are a practitioner, you can ask your teacher for assistance as well.
PAGODA REDOctober 21, 2020Most ritual figures depict the Buddha in one of three postures: seated, standing, or reclining. Differences in expression, hand gesture (mudras), and accompanying objects can reveal the figure’s place of origin as well as the particular Buddhist teaching depicted. Such Buddha figures are rendered in a variety of media depending on regional art traditions and intended use, ranging from carved stone to cast bronze to lacquered bamboo.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Identifying an antique Buddha statue is a specialized skill, which is best learned by studying the history of the preferred materials and techniques that each region used in producing Buddha statues. The simplest way to verify the age of a Buddha statue is to have an expert evaluate it. On 1stDibs, find a range of professionally authenticated Buddha statues.
- Lotus GallerySeptember 23, 2020
Buddha statues are not inherently lucky or unlucky, though images of the Fat Buddha (Budai or Hotei), have come to be associated with wealth, knowledge, and luck, with people often rubbing the belly or head.
