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 is a harmonious fusion of symbolism, material beauty, and cultural craftsmanship. Whether displayed as a group or separately, they bring a touch of serenity, meaning, and timeless elegance to any space.
