About the Item

An Asian hand carved and gilded seated woman statue from the 19th century, in traditional costume. This 19th-century hand-carved and gilded statue depicts a seated woman wearing a traditional costume, accented by finely carved details and painted features. The sculpture beautifully captures the flowing folds of her clothing, and her sandals peek from beneath her robe. The woman's black hair is tied back, and her face is adorned with painted features and earrings that give her a lively presence. Her perforate hands suggest she may have once held an object, adding to the intrigue of the piece. With traces of the original gilding and intricate detailing, this statue offers both historical and decorative value. It would make a captivating addition to a living room or foyer, where its traditional elements and expressive craftsmanship could serve as a conversation starter or focal point. The natural patina and slight wear further enhance the timelessness of the statue, making it a compelling piece for any home with an appreciation for antique art. The woman's poised, seated position evokes a sense of serenity, while the artistry in her attire and the folds of her robe adds depth and character to this remarkable 19th-century sculpture.
