A large and extremely impressive pair of antique Chinese carved wood foo dog statues. They date from the 19th century and are genuine antiques, not to be confused with the many contrived versions more commonly seen. They were most likely made in China, or possibly in Tibet.
The quality is outstanding, they are beautifully carved from one solid block of wood. They have amazing details, with lots of character and charm.
The condition is excellent for their age, they have acquired an absolutely gorgeous patina over the years. There is just one small chip to the wood on the lower edge of one foot, seen in the images.
