FAQs

Foo dogs, properly known as Chinese guardian lions, traditionally stood outside imperial palaces, temples, and homes to protect the inhabitants from harmful spiritual influences and burglaries.

Traditional guardian lions are carved from stone such as marble or granite, cast in bronze, or moulded from durable reconstituted stone and concrete for outdoor placement.

Authentic age and weathering can be identified by natural lichen growth, uniform mineral patina, crispness of chisel work or moulding seams, and the degree of erosion appropriate to the stated material.

Stone statues can be placed flanking an entranceway, integrated into a border of lush foliage, or used as a focal point within a courtyard to add structural weight and classical symmetry.

Maintenance involves gentle cleaning with water and a soft brush to remove organic debris, avoiding harsh chemical pressure washers that can erode the stone surface, and applying a breathable sealer in frost-prone regions.
