Italian Glazed Terra Cotta Horse Sculpture. Tang Dynasty era style.

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...

This finely modeled terracotta figure represents a standing court lady from the Chinese Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), a period celebrated for its vibrant court culture, poetry, music, and cosmopolitan aesthetics. The figure exhibits the characteristic full, rounded facial features and elaborate coiffure associated with Tang feminine ideals, along with gracefully draped robes that animate the garment folds and lend a sense of quiet poise. Traces of original pigment remain visible across the surface, a reminder that these figures were once richly colored. Court lady figures of this type were traditionally placed in tombs as mingqi, or “spirit goods,” intended to accompany and serve the deceased in the afterlife. Their presence also reflected the wealth and status of the household, making them historically significant markers of Tang elite culture. Today they hold strong appeal for collectors of early Chinese art due to their refined modeling, expressive restraint, and direct connection to one of China’s most culturally influential dynasties. The figure retains a pleasing archaeological surface with expected losses to pigment and earthen encrustations consistent with age and burial, and is in nice antique condition overall. The sale includes a Certificate of Authenticity documenting its identification and period. An evocative example of early Chinese funerary...
