About the Item
These are a very good pair of antique Chinese foo or lion dogs, sometimes called temple lions made of a hardstone, hand carved with fine detail and polished, dating to the mid 20th century, Circa 1940 or possibly earlier.
Both pieces are hand carved and polished from a type of hardstone and are heavy for their size. The stone has an overall light green shade with various markings and tones of various shades of brown and green including a very dark green colour. This colouring within the stone makes them very decorative.

Both foo dogs are sat on rectangular plinth's.
Overall a lovely pair of foo dogs with fine detail and a good colour to the stone.

View AllAntique PAIR of Chinese Bronze Foo Dogs with Good Detail and colour, early 20thC
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
These are a very good pair of antique Ming style Chinese foo or lion dog sculptures, sometimes called temple lions, made of bronze, with good detail, which we date to the late Qing or early Republic period of the 20th Century, Circa 1920.
These pieces are well cast with very good detail, showing wear and a good natural patination to the high points as expected from use and polishing over a long period, the lustrous copper bronze metal below. The places on the castings where one would not normally polish ( eg. the underside, the back and neck area) are fairly rough to the touch in keeping with their age
These are a substantial pair of bronzes, weighing over 900gm unpacked
