Pair Large Antique Chinese Stoneware Guardian Lions Qing Dynasty 19th Century
Located in Katonah, NY
These magnificent Chinese temple lions are true works of art, masterfully crafted with incredible attention to detail. The bulging eyes, sharp ears, open mouth, and fluttering mane are expertly rendered, creating a pair of stunning creatures that are truly alive with energy and movement.
The expressive faces of these lions are captivating, and the fact that they are a "true" pair, meaning a male and a female facing each other, adds to the sense of interaction and action.
These lions are made of stoneware and painted in the traditional Chinese sancai three-color glaze on a light brown ground; dating to the late Qing period, they are covered in rich green, blue, and amber glazes. The intricate detailing and rich colors are breathtaking, making these lions a treasure.
Temple lions, also known as lion dogs, are celebrated for their auspicious symbolism. They are believed to protect the peace and prosperity of one's home. These lions are beautiful works of art that bring good luck and prosperity to the homes they are placed in.
Dimensions: 17" Height x 16" Length x 6 1/2" Depth.
Condition: Excellent
Price: $5,800
