Pair of Chinese foo dogs
About the Item
We are delighted to present an extraordinary and exceptionally rare pair of 18th Century Chinese Dogs of Foo. These remarkable sculptures are meticulously crafted from sections of root wood, masterfully interlinked to create remarkably naturalistic figures.
One cannot help but be captivated by the beautiful patina that has developed over centuries, bearing witness to the passage of time with a surface color that tells a story of history and heritage.
These magnificent Chinese Dogs of Foo transcend mere decoration; they are works of art that can command attention and serve as striking focal points when placed on a fireplace mantel or adorning a piece of furniture. Their presence invites intrigue and conversation, making them not only visually stunning but also wonderful conversation starters.
It's worth noting that Foo dogs, or Guardian lions, hold profound significance in early Chinese culture, and they continue to be revered today. Traditionally, they are always displayed in pairs, symbolizing protection and balance. These exquisite sculptures not only showcase the artistry of their era but also carry with them cultural and historical symbolism that adds depth to their appeal.
