Yellow Brass Xiang Rui Qilin / Kirin 祥瑞麒麟 Sculpture
A richly detailed Chinese Qilin / 麒麟 sculpture in warm yellow-brass copperware, finished with layered golden, bronze and reddish tones. The design combines a dragon-like head, scaled body, raised hoof, flame details and traditional ingot motifs on a dark display base.
Choose a male Qilin / 公麒麟, female Qilin / 母麒麟 or a matched pair / 公母一对. The paired configuration creates the strongest formal and symmetrical presentation.
Available Sizes
- Medium: approx. 18 × 6 × 16cm.
- Large: approx. 23 × 8.5 × 19cm.
- Extra Large: approx. 31 × 10 × 29cm.
Material & Finish
The sculpture uses yellow-brass copperware construction with an antique multitone finish that highlights the scales, mane, flame motifs and raised details. The warm metallic palette is especially effective against dark wood, black lacquer, cream stone and traditional Chinese furniture.
Qilin in Chinese Culture
The Qilin is a legendary creature in Chinese visual culture, widely associated with benevolence, dignity, auspicious occasions and peaceful good omens. It is one of the classic symbolic beasts used in Chinese decorative art and ceremonial gifting.
Male, Female or Pair?
A single figure works well on an office credenza, entrance console, study shelf or reception cabinet. A matched pair creates stronger visual balance and suits larger living rooms, reception areas, executive offices and ceremonial gift settings.
Placement & Styling
Pair the warm metal tones with walnut, rosewood-toned furniture, black lacquer, travertine, cream stone, celadon or restrained brass lighting. Leave open space around the horns, raised leg and tail so the silhouette remains clear. For a pair, align the two bases visually and give each figure enough room to read independently.
Gift Guide
Suitable for business openings, office openings, housewarmings, Lunar New Year, executive gifts, milestone occasions and collectors of Chinese auspicious sculpture. The pair is particularly suitable when a more ceremonial presentation is desired.
Care
Dust with a soft dry cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive polish. Keep away from prolonged moisture, and lift the sculpture from the base and main body rather than the horns, tail or other projecting details.
