Product description
This 19th-century Tibetan gilt-bronze Buddha sculpture represents a classical meditation posture, embodying the serene strength characteristic of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The piece is notable for its authentic historic casting and the preservation of its original surface treatment. Crafted from heavy, compact bronze, the sculpture retains clear remnants of its original high-karat fire gilding. The gilding has aged naturally with the bronze, leaving warm gold tones in the folds and protected recesses, while the exposed areas show a rich, time-worn patina. The interior and underside reveal a rough historic casting structure with natural oxidation, consistent with traditional 19th-century Tibetan workmanship. The sculpture measures 20.5 centimetres in height and 13.5 centimetres in width. The condition is good, reflecting its age and history. The natural wear to the gilding and the oxidation on the underside are authentic markers of its 19th-century origin, adding to its character and historical value. This classical Buddha sculpture serves as a profound focal point for a meditation space, a study, or a curated collection of Asian art. Its timeless form and historic patina allow it to integrate seamlessly into both traditional and eclectic interiors.
