Chinese Statues for Timeless Interiors
At Shimu, our passion for authentic Chinese craftsmanship includes furniture and a carefully curated selection of antique and newly crafted Chinese statues. Whether you're drawn to the stillness of a large Buddha statue or the intricate detail of wooden Buddha carvings, our collection offers a range of beautiful decorative pieces to help you create a space that feels calm, balanced and personal.
Chinese statues have long held significance beyond their aesthetic appeal. With a history based upon centuries of symbolism, spirituality and storytelling, these sculptural pieces often reflect the cultural and philosophical beliefs of their time. From powerful stone horse statues symbolising strength and endurance to traditional Chinese ornaments conveying prosperity or protection, our collection features a wide choice of stunning Chinese statues for your home.
Discover Our Range of Chinese Sculptures and Ornaments
Our range includes antique Chinese sculptures sourced by us, chosen for their originality and condition, and lovingly restored by skilled artisans. These are not mass-produced replicas but one-of-a-kind handmade pieces ideal for those seeking something meaningful to add to their interiors.
Buddhist themes are a constant presence in classical Chinese art, and our selection of Chinese Buddha statues reflects this enduring tradition. Whether cast in bronze, carved in wood, or shaped in stone, these figures bring an understated sense of serenity. Wooden Buddha carvings offer a softer, more organic feel and are often created from reclaimed elm or poplar, while stone Buddha sculptures provide weight and permanence, particularly when used as focal points in gardens or courtyards.
A large Buddha statue placed in an entranceway or near a window not only draws the eye but also subtly enhances a space with peaceful energy. This is especially true when combined with other elements of Asian-inspired home décor; think of the harmony between a stone Buddha and an antique sideboard or the contrast between smooth carved wood and the weathered texture of oriental stoneware.
Much like our classical Chinese furniture, many of these statues are constructed using traditional joinery techniques or hand-finishing methods that have been passed down through generations.
Alongside our Buddha pieces, we also offer other symbolic forms such as stone horse statues, for example, which have a long association with power and loyalty in Chinese folklore. Placed outdoors or along a hallway, they bring a quiet strength to a space, reminiscent of the great Tang dynasty tomb guardians. We also stock a number of figurative and abstract pieces; traditional Chinese ornaments that echo the motifs seen in temples, gardens and ancestral halls.
The influence of religious and spiritual symbolism in Chinese sculpture is perhaps best seen in temple elements. A Chinese temple door, when repurposed or displayed as art, brings not just visual drama but a sense of history and reverence. These doors often feature carved panels, calligraphy or mythological creatures – reminders of a past where every object had purpose and meaning.
All of our oriental stoneware and sculptures are chosen with care, guided by our understanding of traditional Chinese design and its evolution through the Ming and Qing periods. We work closely with our partners in China to source beautiful pieces to enhance contemporary interiors; whether it’s a weathered limestone deity or a delicately hand-painted figure from a rural shrine.
Chinese statues offer an ideal blend of form, function and spirit, sitting comfortably alongside both antique and contemporary pieces, grounding your space without overwhelming it. Whether used as statement pieces or grouped with other Asian-inspired home decor elements, they are perfect for adding a touch of calm serenity to your home.
