Large Traditional Chinese Guardian Lion Bronze Sculpture by Giant Sculptures, matched pair in polished gold tone on tiered Greek key plinths, plain background.
Large Traditional Chinese Guardian Lion Bronze Sculpture (Tiered Greek Key Plinth) - 140cm $84,45900
Description

The Large Traditional Chinese Guardian Lion Bronze Sculpture stands 140cm tall and is presented as a matched pair, each figure seated in alert, upright posture on an individually cast tiered plinth. The male guardian rests his right paw on a decorative orb; the female guardian cups a cub beneath her left paw. Together they embody centuries of imperial threshold iconography, rendered here with precision and weight in solid cast bronze.

Cast Bronze, Hand-Finished to a Polished Golden Tone

Each figure is produced using the lost-wax casting method, allowing the finest surface detail to be faithfully captured in metal: the tightly coiled mane, the decorative collar and bib, and the intricate relief work across each plinth face. The polished bronze finish carries a warm, high-reflectivity golden tone that shifts in quality of light throughout the day. Plinth decoration includes Chinese geometric meander (Greek key) borders, triangular floral relief panels, and lotus petal base moulding, all cast as one continuous piece with the figure. At 400kg for the pair, these are monumental bronze guardian statues in every sense of the term.

The pair suits a wide range of formal settings: flanking entrance gates, portico steps, or grand interior thresholds. The warm golden tone works well against stone, rendered masonry, dark hardwood, and polished marble. Fully rated for outdoor exposure, the dense cast bronze construction weathers without structural compromise, though the polished finish is best maintained in covered or sheltered positions if prolonged patination is to be avoided.

Handmade to Order, Fully Customisable

Alternative finishes are available, including dark antique bronze, verde green patina, or a blackened museum tone. Scale can be adjusted to suit specific architectural requirements. If you are considering a custom commission, contact us before ordering so we can confirm specifications, lead times, and placement logistics for pieces of this scale.

Shipping & Returns

Every sculpture at Giant Sculptures is handmade to order, then shipped worldwide free of charge. Below is everything you need to know before you order, and what to expect after.

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.

We accept 30-day returns on sculptures in original condition and original packaging, subject to our Terms & Conditions.

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.

The metal of antiquity

Solid Cast Bronze

Every one of our cast bronze sculptures is poured in solid bronze, the alloy sculptors have prized for more than five thousand years. It is heavier, warmer and far more enduring than any resin imitation, giving each bronze statue a depth and presence that only real metal can.

Poured by hand

Foundry Cast

Each piece is cast in a working foundry, where molten bronze is poured at over a thousand degrees, then cooled, broken out and worked by hand. It is a craft refined over centuries, and it is the reason every bronze sculpture carries the mark of the people who made it.

Made to your measure

Fully Bespoke

Have something specific in mind? We can scale the size, choose the patina and take on full commissions, casting a one-off bronze sculpture to your exact brief. Tell us what you picture, and our artists will make it.

A finish that lives

Hand-Patinated

Colour is brought to bronze by hand. Our finishers work each patina with heat and patience, so no two pieces are ever quite the same. Left outdoors, that patina keeps evolving, softening from bright metal into the deep greens and browns that collectors prize.

Built to outlast us all

Weatherproof for Life

Bronze has survived three thousand years of history, and ours is made to do the same. It shrugs off rain, frost and sun, which is exactly what makes bronze garden statues such a sound investment. Every piece is backed by our lifetime guarantee.

Anywhere in the world

Free Worldwide Shipping

Solid bronze is heavy, so we handle the hard part. Every sculpture travels by fully insured worldwide sea freight and arrives at your door in perfect condition, with nothing to pay on delivery.

Two large, black bear-shaped sculptures stand indoors near a window with a view of a yard. One sculpture is in the foreground with its back to the viewer, and the other faces forward, creating a mirrored effect. Trees and a chair are visible outside.
A shiny metallic bear sculpture stands on the corner of a modern buildings patio, mirrored by another similar black figure in the foreground. The area features minimalistic architecture with large glass windows.
