A Monumental Expression of Devotion – Tibetan Bronze Gilt Buddha Statue from Canonbury Antiques

For collectors of sacred art and connoisseurs of Asian antiquities, few pieces command presence and spiritual gravitas quite like an exceptional gilt bronze Buddha. At Canonbury Antiques, we are proud to present a masterfully executed Tibetan sculpture that embodies serenity, craftsmanship, and symbolic richness. Based in London and serving clients across the UK and worldwide, Canonbury Antiques continues to source rare and meaningful works of art for discerning interiors and private collections.

This remarkable Tibetan Bronze Gilt Buddha Statue Shakyamuni Meditation captures the historical Buddha seated in dhyana mudra, the gesture of deep meditation and spiritual concentration. The figure rests gracefully upon a multilayered lotus pedestal, symbolising purity rising above worldly attachment. Every detail, from the calm facial expression to the finely articulated robes, has been rendered with precision and reverence.

The Buddha’s hair is crowned with a textured ushnisha, delicately accented with blue pigment, offering subtle contrast to the warm glow of the gilt bronze surface. Behind the central figure rises an exceptionally ornate openwork mandorla. This intricate halo is alive with scrolling foliage, auspicious motifs, and mythical creatures, each element carefully pierced and sculpted to create depth and movement. At the apex stands a guardian figure, while expressive attendants flank the Buddha on either side, reinforcing the sacred narrative embedded within the composition.

Canonbury Antiques is known for offering pieces that are not only decorative but historically and spiritually resonant. The tiered base of this sculpture is heavily ornamented with repeating relief scenes miniature seated figures, floral borders, and symbolic designs associated with Buddhist iconography. The stepped architectural structure gives the statue a monumental quality despite its manageable scale, measuring 7.5 inches wide, 4 inches deep, and 13 inches high (19.1 cm x 10.2 cm x 33 cm).

What distinguishes this sculpture is its harmonious balance between intricate detail and serene presence. Whether placed within a contemplative home setting, a curated art collection, or an elegant interior scheme, it introduces a sense of calm and refinement. The gilded finish catches the light beautifully, enhancing the dimensional quality of the mandorla and pedestal while emphasising the tranquil expression of Shakyamuni.
