Large Traditional Chinese Guardian Lion Bronze Sculpture by Giant Sculptures, a 140cm golden pair seated on engraved plinths with orb and cub, on grey.
Large Traditional Chinese Guardian Lion Bronze Sculpture (Scalloped Plinth) - 140cm $88,97300
Description

The Large Traditional Chinese Guardian Lion Bronze Sculpture stands 140cm tall as a matched pair, each lion seated upright on a densely engraved ornamental plinth in a mirror-image arrangement that commands any entrance, courtyard, or formal interior. The detail is immediate and authoritative: open mouths, elaborate spiral manes, and paired iconography in which the male rests his forepaw on a lattice-engraved orb and the female rests hers on a cub.

Cast Bronze, Hand-Finished to a Golden Brilliance

Each lion is cast using the lost-wax method, which preserves every carved spiral in the mane, every bead along the plinth's scalloped lower edge, and every motif in the engraved floral and geometric panels. The surface is hand-finished to a high-reflectivity golden bronze, warm and luminous without being garish. The decorative collar and hanging pendant ornament on each figure are cast as integral elements, not applied separately, so the finish reads as a single coherent object rather than an assembled one. At 1,000kg the pair carries a physical permanence that reinforces the sculptural authority of large-scale guardian bronze statues of this tradition.

The golden finish suits stone-floored entrance halls, formal garden gateways, limestone-paved courtyards, and interiors with lacquered or dark-timber joinery. The scale reads confidently against tall doors, boundary walls, or wide staircases. As a traditional Chinese guardian lion bronze pair, the iconography is equally appropriate in contemporary architectural settings where the contrast between ancient form and modern material palette is intentional.

Handmade to Order, Fully Customisable

We can supply the pair in a range of bronze patinas including classical dark brown, verdigris, and oxidised black, as well as the polished golden finish shown. Scale adjustments are available for both larger monumental commissions and more compact interior formats. This piece draws on compositional conventions inspired by the work of traditional Chinese imperial bronze casting; if you have a specific architectural context, site dimensions, or finish requirement, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the best approach for your project.

Production Time

Every sculpture is handmade to order by our artisans — we do not mass-produce.

  • Standard sculptures: approximately 3–4 weeks from order confirmation.
  • Bespoke commissions (custom sizes, finishes, or fully custom designs): approximately 5–6 weeks from design sign-off.

Production time is separate from delivery time.

Free Worldwide Shipping

Shipping is free worldwide on every sculpture, regardless of destination.

  • Sculptures under 50cm — shipped by air freight. Typical delivery 1–2 weeks after production is complete.
  • Sculptures 50cm and above — shipped by sea freight. Typical delivery 6–8 weeks after production is complete.

For larger sculptures where faster delivery is needed, air freight is available at additional cost — contact us before ordering for a quote.

All sculptures ship in reinforced protective crating, fully insured to purchase value.

Delivery to Your Address

Delivery is to the door or curbside at your shipping address.

For larger sculptures shipped by sea freight, the carrier will contact you in advance to arrange a delivery window. Please ensure someone is available to accept the delivery and that the property has suitable access for the size of the piece.

Once the sculpture arrives, you are responsible for positioning it in its final display location. For larger or heavier pieces, we recommend arranging two people (family, friends, or a local moving service) to help with placement.

International Orders & Customs

For orders shipping outside the United Kingdom, any customs duties, import taxes, or local fees at your destination country are the responsibility of the customer. These charges are set by your local authority and are not included in our shipping cost.

If you have questions about customs for your specific country, contact us before ordering and we can advise on typical charges for your region.

To start a return, contact us within 30 days of receipt. Return shipping for change-of-mind returns is at the customer's cost.

Bespoke and custom-commissioned pieces are non-refundable once production has started, as they are made specifically to your specification.

Damage in Transit

Every sculpture ships fully insured. In the unlikely event of damage during transit:

  1. Report the damage within 48 hours of delivery.
  2. Provide clear photographs of both the damage and the packaging.
  3. We arrange collection and either replacement or full refund at no cost to you.

Lifetime Guarantee

Every sculpture carries a lifetime guarantee against finish defects under normal display conditions, subject to our Terms & Conditions.

This covers manufacturing defects, premature finish degradation, and structural failures under normal display. It does not cover damage caused by accidents, misuse, inappropriate environments (for example, an indoor-only sculpture placed outdoors), or modifications made after delivery.
