{"product_id":"polychromed-indian-peacock-figure","title":"Polychromed Indian Peacock Figure From Surat - Ca 1900","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis charming polychromed wooden peacock figure originates from Surat, Gujarat, and dates to around 1900. Hand-carved and richly decorated, the sculpture retains traces of its original painted and gilded surface, with beautifully aged tones of gold, red and green lending the piece a wonderfully timeworn character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStylised in form yet elegant in posture, the peacock stands proudly upon a painted plinth base decorated with traditional floral motifs. The surface wear, fading and layers of patina speak to the figure’s age and long decorative history, enhancing its authenticity and sculptural appeal. The delicately painted feather detailing and elongated neck reflect the decorative folk traditions of Western India during the late 19th and early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Indian culture, the peacock is associated with beauty, prosperity and divine protection, making figures such as this both decorative and symbolic. Displayed on a shelf, console or within a collection of folk and devotional art, this piece brings warmth, colour and character to an interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surat, Gujarat, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-Carved Wood With Original Polychrome Decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Painted And Gilded Surface, Folk Art Styling, Decorative Plinth Base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy age-related wear and surface losses consistent with age, contributing to the figure’s decorative charm and authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W13 x D5 x H24 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Indigo Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57580366004607,"sku":"A03586","price":245.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/2522\/files\/Polychromed_Indian_Peacock_Figure_From_Surat_With_Original_Painted_And_Gilded_Finish_Circa_1900_A03586.jpg?v=1779286959","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo-uk.com\/products\/polychromed-indian-peacock-figure","provider":"Indigo Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
