This is a wonderful pair of c. 1900-1920 Chinese carved wood Foo Dogs (Shi-Shi). The dogs have acquired a wonderful deep natural patina with one dog with her puppy and the other with a flaming pearl. Both Foo Dogs are in good condition but their deep patina indicates spending time as decorative outside elements. The dogs were originally lacquered which is now degraded. Both of the foo dogs display great facial expressions and are ready for their new home and another 100 years of standing guard. Good condition: Wear consistent with age and use. The foo dogs retain all of their original elements but have acquired a heavy natural patina which adds interest and character to the dogs.
