Enhance your space with this ornate, vintage Chinese red faux cinnabar dragon sculpture. This substantial, heavy piece features detailed, double-sided molded resin carving, capturing the intricate design and deep red hue of traditional, high-quality carved lacquer, typical of the late 20th century (circa 1970s-1990s).
WHAT IS VINTAGE FAUX CINNABAR?Because authentic antique Chinese cinnabar was hand-carved out of toxic, mercury-based organic tree sap lacquer, it is incredibly rare and fragile.In the late 20th century, artisan workshops began pouring heavy, pigment-infused mineral resins into high-detail molds taken directly from authentic hand-carved master pieces.Because the original masters were hand-carved out of wood or lacquer, this premium casting process flawlessly captured the natural grain lines and deep carving marks of the original artwork.This results in a heavy, museum-quality statement piece that looks completely authentic, has a beautiful oxblood color, and is perfectly safe to display in modern homes.
