A striking pair of Chinese turquoise-glazed temple lions, dating to the mid-20th century. Modelled in the traditional guardian form, each figure is richly detailed with curled mane, expressive features, and pierced plinth base. The vibrant blue glaze gives them a wonderfully sculptural presence, adding both colour and symmetry to a mantel, console, or bookcase. Decorative yet symbolic, temple lions are traditionally associated with protection and strength. A confident and characterful pair that bring depth and boldness to a layered interior.
