HSBCs Stephen and Stitt Lions in Hongkong When HSBC decided to - TopicsExpress

HSBCs Stephen and Stitt Lions in Hongkong When HSBC decided to build its third Headquarters at 1 Queens Road Central in Hong Kong, opened in 1935, it commissioned two bronze lions from Shanghai-based British sculptor WW Wagstaff. This commission was inspired by the earlier lions commissioned for the Shanghai office, and the Hong Kong lions were modelled on, but are not identical to, the Shanghai lions. Like the Shanghai lions, the Hong Kong lions became objects of veneration, and focii of the Banks perceived excellent feng shui. Young couples still bring their toddlers to stroke the paws and noses of the statues hoping for luck and prosperity. The Hong Kong lions are also called Stephen and Stitt, and the Hong Kong Stephen has bullet or shrapnel scars in its left hind-quarters dating from the fighting in the Battle of Hong Kong.
