Product description
This 19th-century Tibetan bronze Buddha sculpture retains clear remnants of its original 24-karat fire gilding. The piece depicts the Buddha in a classical meditation posture, offering a calm yet powerful presence characteristic of traditional Tibetan devotional art. Crafted from solid bronze, the statue measures 20.5 centimetres in height and 13.5 centimetres in width. Over more than a century, the original fire gilding has worn naturally from the exposed surfaces, leaving warm gold visible within the folds of the robe and other protected recesses. The underside and interior retain a rough historic casting structure with natural oxidation, consistent with traditional 19th-century Tibetan craftsmanship. The sculpture is in good antique condition, displaying an authentic surface shaped by age and handling. The natural wear to the gilding creates a rich, time-worn appearance that speaks to its history of prolonged devotional use on a household altar. This antique bronze Buddha serves as a profound focal point in a serene interior setting. It pairs beautifully with organic materials and minimalist decor, bringing a sense of history and contemplation to a modern or eclectic space.
