Chinese Foo Dogs - Large Heavy Gorgeous Brass Plated / Gilded Shishi Lions!

Description

Gorgeous Chinese brass plated / gilded foo dogs. Incredibly detailed brass pair of Shishi lions.
Each shows vintage wear in good condition - very detailed, well worn and overall patina - nice size!
Both have spotted greenish patina, false blue patina, tarnished surfaces, casting imperfections, worn and weathered - see all photos
The blue corrosion / aging on the roses appears to be purposeful, (applied for aesthetics) which adds to their beauty~
These are plated / glided brass - the silver is a plating process over brass and is not real silver, the gold portions are brass - a very neat set of Shishi Lions!
These have a lot of wear but no breaks, repairs or major damage. There are a lot of surface imperfections, light corrosion, tarnishing, rough surfaces, etc. - please see / zoom all photos
The top of the base of the left facing foo dog / surface - is rough - the right facing foo dog base surface is smooth - this is from the casting / firing / plating process - see last two photos
I know I mention a lot of imperfections, I do so to make sure that there are no surprise with your purchase, most people wouldn't bother but I try to point out any small details to the form, fit and finish :)
This vintage aged pair will fit anywhere you need a little charm - perfect for your mantel or side table ~
Each measure @ 9.5 inches tall, 6.25 inches wide - base diameter - and 8.0 length for each Shisha
This pair weights 13.2 pounds or 6.6 pounds each - very heavy, very substantial, ornate, detailed pairing :)
Base bottoms appear to be hammered, they show heavy wear, dents and dings, Foo dogs are solid and the bases are hollow ~
An Awesome Chinese brass foo dog pair for display or decoration.
