About the Item
This striking pair of antique Chinese granite sculptures features finely carved male and female figures in traditional robes, each standing atop rectangular pedestals adorned with floral reliefs. Originating from the late Qing Dynasty (late 19th to early 20th century), these pieces once served as architectural elements from an ancestral hall. Each figure holds an offering and displays a serene, dignified expression,The pedestals below are embellished with delicate bas-relief carvings of vases filled with peonies and chrysanthemums—symbols of prosperity, longevity, and honor in Chinese culture. Traces of original polychrome paint remain visible, highlighting the intricate details and lending authenticity and historic charm to the sculptures. These pieces are carved from dense granite, with signs of age and wear consistent with their outdoor architectural origin. Mounted on modern black bases for stability and presentation, this pair offers both aesthetic and cultural value—ideal for collectors of Asian antiques or as statement decorative accents.
