The Royal Carriage | Handcrafted Lapis Lazuli Sculpture

A Masterwork of Afghan Gemstone Sculpture

A commanding horse-and-carriage composition handcrafted from natural Afghan lapis lazuli and enriched with warm, golden-toned brass detailing.

Handcrafted in Kabul by Master Mohammad Shah, The Royal Carriage transforms a historic symbol of ceremony and prestige into an exceptional work of Afghan decorative art.

Natural lapis lazuli sourced from Sar-e-Sang, Badakhshan, is individually selected, shaped, assembled and polished to form the horses, carriage and sculptural architectural details. Golden-toned brass accents introduce warmth and definition against the stone’s intense blue colour, natural pyrite flecks and calcite veining.

Measuring approximately 60 cm in length and weighing around 5 kg, this is a substantial statement piece created for collectors, interior designers and distinguished gifting. It commands attention on a large console, executive credenza, library cabinet or formal reception display.

Natural Variation and Authenticity

Natural variations in blue tone, pyrite, calcite veining, surface character and weight are inherent characteristics of genuine lapis lazuli. Subtle differences in assembly and fine detailing may also occur because every sculpture is completed by hand.

These variations are not defects. They are evidence of natural material and individual craftsmanship. A Golden Loom Afghanistan Certificate of Authenticity is included.

Care

Display indoors on a strong, stable and level surface capable of supporting its approximate 5 kg weight. Dust gently with a clean, dry, soft cloth.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemical polish, prolonged moisture, direct heat and sudden impact. When relocating the sculpture, support it carefully from beneath its main base. Never lift it by the horses, reins, wheels, canopy or projecting decorative elements.
