Monumental Pair of Javanese Wedding Icons (Loro Blonyo) – 100 cm

This impressive pair of Javanese wedding icons, also known as Loro Blonyo, represents the pinnacle of stylized Indonesian woodcarving. With a height of no less than 100 cm and a combined weight of 11 kg, these are not standard decorative items, but heavy "statement pieces" of investment quality.

Symbolic and Style

The figures are dressed in traditional Javanese court attire: the man wears a Blangkon (headdress) and the woman a Kemben (breastcloth). The style is a refined blend of traditional iconography and a mid-century modernist aesthetic, characterized by the elegant, elongated verticality of the bodies.

Craftsmanship and Condition

Carved from high-quality, heavy tropical heartwood, these statues offer a stability rarely seen in export items. The hand-applied polychromy is refined with subtle accents of real gold leaf. The craquelé in the finish and the visible wood grain on the underside confirm the age and authentic nature of the woodcarving.
