This traditional Chinese sculpture belongs to the 19th century and depicts two recumbent horses from the jade family with intertwined bodies and carved manes, their heads resting upon each other. Formed from a pale celadon green hard stone, the piece has a smooth finish highlighting the organic contours and tactile quality of the stone. The composition includes detailed rendering of the equines, muscular haunches, and gentle facial profiles, presenting a unified animal grouping. The sculpture measures 4.2 cm high, 6.7 cm wide, and 5.7 cm deep in overall dimensions. In a modern interior, this item sits neatly on a bookshelf or within a gentleman's library display cabinet as a decorative desktop ornament or cabinet piece. Its compact scale allows it to fit comfortably among book collections or upon small side tables where the pale celadon tones provide a subtle focal point. Collectors of Asian art antiques will find this carving an interesting addition to traditional or eclectic decorative schemes.

FAQs

In traditional Chinese culture, the horse represents strength, speed, and perseverance. Sculptures depicting paired or recumbent horses symbolise companionship, harmony, and successful partnership.

Artisans traditionally carved these items from nephrite jade, jadeite, bowenite, and various quartz hardstones using specialised rotary tools and abrasive mineral powders.

Genuine jade and hardstones are cool to the touch, possess high density, and display natural inclusions or subtle colour variations. Microscopic inspection of carving tool marks also aids identification.

Position the sculpture on a curated bookshelf, desk, or side table alongside contemporary ceramics or framed artwork to create a balanced visual display.

Dust the item regularly with a soft microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, liquid solvents, or ultrasonic treatments that could damage the stone structure.
