This is a tall antique decorative figure. A Chinese, bronze statue of a water carrier, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1900.
Classic figure of a rural water carrier
Displaying a desirable aged patina
Bronze shows fine weathering and dark, natural hues
Gently chamfered detail catches the light beautifully
Carrying a wide yoke, the fellow walks with a pair of large buckets
Wearing a jaunty hat, his face a jovial sight
Long flowing robe billows over his slender frame
Stood upon a circular base with foliate pattern around the circumference
This is a charming antique decorative figure, with superb rural Chinese imagery. Gentle details allow the light to dance pleasingly over the piece. Delivered polished and ready to display.
