A Powerful and highly sculptural vintage Chinese Guardian Horse, reimagined with a bold yet sophisticated custom high-gloss finish that elevates its presence into true collectible territory.
This substantial figure features the stylized proportions and ceremonial stance traditionally associated with guardian horses in Chinese art- symbols of protection, strength, and prestige. The exaggerated form, pronounced saddle detailing, and grounded posture give the piece a commanding architectural quality, making it equally compelling as fine art or as a dramatic interior focal point.
The sculpture has been professionally refinished in "Fiery Opal" by Farrow & Ball, executed using Fine Paints of Europe for a smooth, factory-quality high-gloss finish with exceptional depth and luminosity. The color reads as a rich, glowing red-orange--Striking without feeling overly modern-allowing the historic form to remain the hero.
Heavily constructed with a solid, weighty feel consistent with vintage decorative sculpture of this scale.
This piece is ideal for:
•Collectors of Asian or Chinese decorative arts
•Designers seeking a bold sculptural anchor
•Entryways, libraries, or gallery-style interiors
•Collectors drawn to rare, one-of-a-kind refinished forms
A singular object that bridges traditional symbolism and contemporary design-this guardian horse is not merely decorative, but commanding.
