Set of 4 Chinese Animal Figurines in Jade and Onyx – Elephants, Lion & Dog, 20th
Located in Auribeau sur Siagne, FR
Set of 4 Chinese Animal Figurines in Jade and Onyx – Elephants, Lion & Dog, 20th Century
Description:
This refined set of four animal figurines, crafted in China during the 20th century, showcases the elegance of natural stone carving and the timeless symbolism of animals in decorative art. The ensemble includes a pair of jade elephants, a reclining lion in jade, and a seated dog in onyx, each carved with delicate detail and smooth finishes. Perfect for display in a cabinet, on a console, or as part of a themed vignette, these figurines bring a sense of serenity, strength, and tradition to any interior.
Key features include:
Natural Stone Materials:
The pair of elephants and the lion are carved from jade, known for its symbolic value and subtle translucence.
The seated dog is carved from onyx, offering a contrasting tone and texture with its elegant veining and natural luster.
Symbolic Animal Forms:
Elephants symbolize wisdom, memory, and good fortune, especially when displayed as a pair.
The lion conveys strength, protection, and calm authority.
The dog represents loyalty, guardianship, and companionship.
Chinese 20th-Century Craftsmanship: All four pieces reflect traditional Chinese stone-carving techniques, combining refined form with smooth, tactile surfaces.
Versatile Decorative Use: Whether placed in a display case, on a desk, shelf, or altar, these figurines serve as both decorative accents and subtle symbols of balance and harmony.
Curated Collector’s Set: The combination of two materials and four distinct animals makes this set ideal for collectors of Asian art, animal figures, or natural stone miniatures.
This set of four jade and onyx animal figurines...

Antique, Rare & Decorative Pair of Hand Carved and Hand Painted Horse Sculptures
Located in Lisse, NL
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...
