Pair Antique Chinese Carved Celadon Jade Guardian Lions ROC Early 20th Century

About the Item

This exquisite pair of celadon jade guardian lions hails from the early Republic of China period, a testament to the era's craftsmanship. The lions are intricately carved from high-quality celadon jade, a material revered for its subtle, pale green hue and translucency. Each lion is depicted in a traditional pose, exuding both regality and ferocity, as if poised to protect the space they inhabit. The masterful carving captures the intricate details of the lions' fur, facial features, and muscular form, lending a lifelike quality to these guardian figures. The jade itself is of superior quality, its natural luster further accentuated by the meticulous carving. These guardian lions serve not only as stunning decorative pieces but also as symbols of power, strength, and prosperity. They would make a distinguished addition to any collection of fine Chinese art or serve as a focal point in a space designed to reflect cultural richness and artistic mastery. circa 1910-1920, R.O.C period
