About the Item

-In light of new tariffs, we’ve applied a 20% discount off the market price of this piece to support our collectors in facing potential added costs. At the gallery, we work closely with our artists to take this positive and proactive step, helping collectors across the pond continue building their collections with confidence. This antique Japanese Tobacco Box, complete with drawers, a kiseru, is a captivating piece of history. The warm hew of the elm is telling a story of time. The box showcases authentic metal fittings that narrate the rich journey of being well-loved and repurposed over time. The intricate wood grain, aged over a century, imparts a genuine warmth to this collectible, making it a truly heartening and valuable addition. Included in this antique set is an antique kiseru ((煙管)), housed in a box crafted from high quality zelkova wood. The box is with the original body, fixings and drawers. The top lid is made from one plank, and it’s a later edition. This box is in our possession since 2014 acquired directly from Japan; this beloved piece has been preserved by our restoration team in London, undergoing waxing and wood preservation. Despite being a century old, it remains in excellent condition, a testament to the care and attention bestowed upon it.

Fish, Figurative, Bronze & Wood by Contemporary Indian Artist "In Stock"
Located in Kolkata, West Bengal
Subrata Paul - Fish Bronze & Wood, H 31 x W 27 x D 8 inches About : Subrata Paul ( b 1972) is one of the empanelled sculptors of Abundant Art Gallery. Subrata Paul’s favoured materials are bronze embellished with wood. His signature fusion of the two different materials with his stitching style lends an unique texture to his sculptures. Our collection, includes some of his remarkable creations including “Fish”, “Goat” and “Bull”.Paul’s ‘Fish’ represents contrasting characteristics. The Buddha like drooping eyes of the ‘Fish’ is contrasted paradoxically against the frenzied fins, reminding us of Medusa’s dishevelled hair. Calmness and restlessness in one form, the ‘Fish’ resembles the life force.It is a metaphor for the inner human strength to swim against the tide of adversities. His ‘The King’ represents an imperial image. The statute is looking towards heaven, as if seeking some inspiration to perform his royal duties. His crown is like a crown of thorns. It is not a pleasant task but it has to be performed. His attire declares he has to modify his own life into the straightjacket of his royal duties. Another creation of his, ‘Bull’ recalls the interpretation of a bison of the Altamira cave paintings. Paul’s ‘Meditation’ series defines peace in different perspectives through various aspects of Buddha figures. Inspired by sculptors such as Sunil Kumar Das...
