Stunning and unique pair of matching horse sculptures. With a combined experience of almost 30 years in the antiques trade, we were thrilled to once again find beautifully hand-crafted and decorative antiques that we had never seen before. From the density and the weight we can see and feel that these highly decorative horse sculptures are made of a tropical hardwood. Like, for example, with antique mirror frames or church sculptures these horses too were first covered with a mixture of chalk and glue so that the paint would hold longer. And, as so often is the case with antiques, the colors that were used for painting these horses are so much more beautiful than anything you find in this day and age that they truly are an absolute joy to look at. From the colors, the wear, the materials and the techniques that were used to create these horses we can see that these are 19th century antiques. However and unfortunately we lack the knowledge to be able to tell you from which country these highly decorative and sizeable works of art originate. We just can't find matching style horse sculptures anywhere on the worldwide web. They could be Chinese or Nepalese, but they could also be Persian or Arabian. We just have not been able to find out. What we do know is that they are definitely antique, they are in beautiful condition (with some wear, consistent with their age), they are highly decorative, probably unique and they have a look and feel that will instantly change the atmosphere of the room they are in. Mind you, our sharp price for this wonderful pair of horse sculptures...

Striking and meaningful work of religious art. This beautifully stylish hand carved and large size Sacred Heart of Christ statue is another one of our recent great finds.

Perfect size, best price, 19th century Chinese stand, with calligraphy-like marks underneath. This entirely handcrafted, Chinese table from circa 1880-1890 is as strong and stable as the day it was made and it has the most beautiful patina. Thanks to its ideal design and size this, to us, is the perfect wine table or perhaps a pedestal for an Asian spiritual sculpture. Unfortunately we know nothing about the carved mythological, Chinese figures/creatures (possibly dragons) on each corner. All sides of this solid wooden table also come with striking flower motives and all legs have carved, claw feet. The bottom of the solid wooden structure of this Asian table is marked with Chinese calligraphy -like letters stating its country of origin. Apart from some minor restorations to the wood (that give this antique table even more character), this stylish and rare table is in excellent condition and it is definitely ready for you to use and enjoy. Mind you, our fixed low price...

Period: Song dynasty Dimensions: 6 inches high and 15 inches wide About Bixie The “bixie” is a mythological creature commonly thought to be able to ward off evil forces with its magical powers.
