A detailed pair of vintage Chinese court figures representing an Emperor and Empress standing at 35 cm tall. The statues feature highly intricate molded details imitating hand-carved ivory, including etched traditional wave and dragon motifs on their imperial robes, beaded necklaces, and ceremonial garments. The back showcases long black-painted hair (including a traditional queue braid on the emperor figure) and matching black tasselled elements. Both figures are permanently mounted onto round, stepped, dark brown wooden bases.
