Item description:Wonderful, ancient pair of Chinese solid bronze sculptures depicting a pair of Fo dogs, made in China circa 17th century, Ming dynasty.Useful information for evaluating the object:In the photo, just below this description, there is a pair very similar to ours, both in size and style, listed at the Cambi auction at €1.700-2.000, to give an idea of the possible value of similar objects.Final thoughts on the object:The age of the couple is very evident, note the oxidation and antiquity of the bronze, worn in some places and covered by a wonderful patina, formed over many years. The decorations engraved on the body of the couple are beautiful, the tails and faces of the two animals are also fabulous, truly a beautiful couple, ancient and very important. Some brown marks that you can see in the photos are not rust, but some hardened encrustation of earth or other. They are made of bronze, not iron, even tested with a magnet.

At the same time, eBay reciprocates with the possibility of selling a high quantity of objects, so our commercial policy is to earn little for the single object, but sell a lot and therefore earn on the quantity. In fact, the asking price is always as low as possible, considering how much the item was paid for and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21% , according to the country in which the advertisement was made). For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTEDThe cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping cost, and everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost. OUR SHIPMENTS:.Our shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes. This means that the package is much larger and heavier and therefore the cost of shipping increases, not to mention all the work necessary to carry out a similar packaging and the cost of the various materials used...
