19th Century Chinese Temple Architectural Corbel Carved Sculpture Pair

Located in Forney, TX

A majestic pair of antique architectural salvaged Chinese temple corbels, now mounted as one-of-a-kind wooden sculptures on custom floor standing display pedestal stands. Originally commissioned for an important religious temple in China, the impressive large scale wall bracket corbels were notoriously difficult as they had to serve as both highly decorative temple ornaments and structural building elements used to support the weight of a wall. Hand-crafted in the early 19th century, smilarly styled design, each exceptionally hand carved, sculpted, and painted by highly trained artisans. Profusely carved and decorated, featuring very fine quality high relief work throughout, extensive bas relief, pierced openwork, rich carvings and intricate incised detailing, depicting various Chinese folk religion figures and imagery. Rising on bespoke handmade stands, consistenting of sturdy rectangular shaped thick plank plinth base embellished with foliate carvings, held upright by turned column single support. Rich in culture and history, interesting, unusual, highly decorative, whimsical and artistic, sure to add sophisticated elegance, rustic character, color, space, texture and lots of visual interest. Dimensions, largest (approx): Each: 32.5" H, 19" W, 7.25" D. Please note, the objects were sourced and transported both legally and ethically, retaining partial original red wax export seal to top. Display the three Sanxing, in their iconic representation as three, old, bearded, wise men, which dates back to the Ming dynasty, when the Gods of the three stars were represented in human form for the first time. One panel having two monumental smiling figures with hand painted eyes and tongue, the other fragment depicting four figures, seated and standing, likely Immortals, Gods, Shen deity, and other characters from ancient Chinese mythology and folklore. Both pieces with elaborate lotus and pine tree motif, a powerful symbol of wisdom and longevity. Sanxing figures are an important part of Asian culture. Statues of these three Gods...

19th Century European Hercules Herm Architectural Carving

19th Century European Hercules Herm Architectural Carving

Located in West Palm Beach, FL

19th Century European Hercules Herm Architectural Carving Hand-carved wood, 42" high × 4" wide × 3.5" deep A finely carved wood architectural fragment in the form of a Herm of Hercules, dating to the 19th century and drawing upon Renaissance and Baroque precedents. The sculpture shows the muscular torso of a mature, bearded male figure with a deeply furrowed brow, curling hair, and a voluminous beard. His body is rendered in tapering herm form, with a draped cloth across the midsection leading into a long rectangular plinth decorated with foliate carving. The herm derives from classical antiquity, where stone posts surmounted by the head or bust of Hermes (and later other gods or heroes) served as boundary markers and architectural supports. During the Renaissance and Neoclassical revivals, this form was adapted into decorative architecture, furniture, and garden ornaments, often featuring heroic or mythological figures such as Hercules to convey strength and guardianship. The stern expression, powerful musculature, and prominent beard allude to Hercules, the archetype of heroic masculinity. Such carvings were often installed as newel posts, pilaster ornaments, or architectural appliqués...
