Description

A pair of large antique 19th Century Chinese cast iron Fo Dogs/Temple Lions, c1890.

They are well cast and decorated and very heavy. One is slightly taller than the other (by a few cm) but otherwise they are identical. They have aged beautifully with traces of original paint/gilding. They have probably been displayed outside at some point and have extensive signs of rust/Verdigris which again add to their charm and character.

Overall condition is good with only minor surface wear/rubbing/rust and paint loss, all very much as you would expect from examples of this age.

Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Size: 25cm tall x 27cm long x 15cm wide. We will happily ship worldwide.
