About the Item
Antique Chinese Bronze 5 Claws Royal Dragons Sculpted Vase - Pair
This pair of 19th century rare bronze vases are decorated with sculpted Imperial royal five claw dragons. The dragon has always had a powerful significance in Chinese culture as a symbol of power. Since the Ming Dynasty, dragons with five claws were a symbol only emperors could use. Improperly displaying this symbol was considered treason punishable not only by the death of the perpetrator, but also all of his family clan. Consequently pieces such as this only came from the Royal Palace.
