De Rosa Collections is proud to present our exquisite Foo Lions, a powerful symbol of protection in Chinese Feng Shui. Often mistaken for dogs, these majestic figures are actually lions, traditionally crafted in pairs and serving as guardians at the entrance of homes and buildings. Each Foo Lion is meticulously hand-carved, reflecting the dedication and artistry of our skilled artisans.

The creation process involves a labor of love, where each detail is thoughtfully designed, echoing the craftsmanship seen in our other renowned sculptures. Foo Lions are typically made from durable materials such as granite, marble, or decorative stone, though they may also be cast in iron, bronze, or, in our case, ceramic.

Historically, these statues were reserved for the wealthiest families, symbolizing both protection against negative energy and a mark of aristocratic status. Proper placement is essential for maximizing harmony and good fortune; the male lion should be positioned on the right and the female on the left, both facing outward to guard the entrance.

With their commanding presence and rich cultural significance, our Foo Lions are not only stunning centerpieces but also embody the intricate balance of energy in your space, making them a profound addition to any collection.
