This Edwardian standing Buddha figure originates from Southeast Asia and follows a classic Mandalay style. Constructed from wood, the sculpture is finished with gold leaf and dark brown lacquer, showcasing visible surface wear, aged distressing, and intricate carved folds in the drapery alongside molded lacquer trim and an ushnisha head curl motif. The figure stands 165 cm high, 67 cm wide, and 30 cm deep overall. Suitable for an empty corner placement within a maximalist interior setting, the sculpture provides an imposing decorative presence in a living room, hallway, or study. Placed directly on the floor or upon a raised surface, it integrates easily into eclectic domestic collections without requiring additional hardware or installation.

Southeast Asian standing Buddha statues are traditionally depicted wearing flowing monastic robes with ornate borders, often featuring specific hand mudras and distinct iconographical elements such as the ushnisha atop the head.

These sculptures are typically carved from solid hardwood timbers, coated in natural tree lacquer, embellished with raised lacquer paste details, and finished with applied leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural age wear to the gold leaf finish, fine craquelure across the underlying lacquer surface, visible hand-tooling marks in the timber, and dark oxidation on unvarnished areas.

Designers position large carved sculptures as dramatic focal points in neutral entryways, quiet reading alcoves, or curated display corners, pairing them with soft accent lighting to highlight surface textures.

Dust gently using a dry, soft microfibre brush, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or sudden humidity changes, and never apply liquid chemical cleaners or damp cloths to delicate gilded lacquer.
