Product description
Chinese Wooden Buddha – Qing Dynasty – With Old Polychromy and Gilding
A wonderful antique Buddha from China, a unique wooden sculpture with a particularly traceable history. This piece was imported in the 1950s by a furniture store and subsequently stood in the display window of a vintage furniture shop near Beesd until the 1980s. That alone gives it character, but the sculpture itself is clearly much older and is estimated to date from the Qing period. What makes this sculpture extra special is that microscopic examination reveals remnants of old gilding. Combined with the original polychromy, the fine craquelure in the surface, and natural wear, this confirms the authentic construction of the sculpture. The aging appears convincing and gives the piece precisely that serene, lived-in appearance sought in true ancient temple statues. The gentle posture with folded hands, the old paintwork, and the weathered lotus base make this a decorative and spiritual object with a genuine presence. Not a sterile decorative piece, but an ancient sculpture with history, aura, and tangible authenticity. A compelling piece for collectors of antique Asian art and original wooden religious sculptures. Dimensions: H 57 x W 17 cm Weight: 2.7 kg
