17th Century Japanese Screen. Karako Asobi: Chinese Children at Play.
Located in Kyoto, JP
Anonymous Kano school artist
17th century
"Karako Asobi: Chinese Children at Play"
A two-panel Japanese Furosaki screen. Ink, pigment, gofun and gold-leaf on paper.
This small Japanese Karako folding screen vividly depicts various games played by children wearing wearing elaborate Chinese T'ang dynasty costumes. They are dressed in plumed and tasseled hats, ornate jackets, baggy pants, and cloth slippers typical of T'ang period Chinese court dress. The children are depicted pulling a younger child along in a cart, carrying another child as if an important official, riding a wooden horse, leading a puppy and carrying a tethered bird. Executed in fine-quality pigments on gold leaf, the detail, variety and size of the figures is noteworthy. Also notable is the size of this screen itself, which denotes it as a Furosaki screen. A Furosaki screen is part of the equipment used for the Japanese tea-ceremony. It is traditionally placed on tatami mats behind the brazier highlighting the utensils and providing a focal point.

18th century Antique wooden Indian temple panel from India
Located in DEVENTER, NL
Step into the sacred legacy of Indian temple artistry with this Antique wooden Indian temple panel, a rare 18th-century relic originating from a historic Temple Chariot (Rath) in India. Measuring 51.3 cm high, 25.1 cm wide, and 13.4 cm deep, this intricately carved wooden panel once adorned a ceremonial chariot used in grand religious processions, embodying the spiritual fervor and architectural grandeur of Hindu traditions. Crafted by skilled artisans, the panel showcases elaborate depictions of deities, mythological scenes, or floral motifs, symbols of divine protection and cosmic order central to temple rituals. Weighing 6.74 kgs, its robust yet finely detailed construction reflects the durability required for chariots that traversed festival routes, carrying sacred idols amid vibrant celebrations. The rich patina and aged wood grain bear witness to centuries of devotion, while the panel’s provenance—documented in the last two photos of its original chariot—adds unparalleled historical authenticity.
Created during an era of flourishing temple art under royal patronage, this piece exemplifies the fusion of devotional craftsmanship and functional sacred art, offering a tangible link to India’s spiritual and cultural heritage. Ideal for collectors of Asian religious artifacts, historians, or interior design connoisseurs, this 18th-century temple panel transcends mere decoration, serving as a narrative artifact of India’s temple...

Antique and Vintage Asian Art and Furniture
From Japanese handmade earthenware pottery, originating circa 14,500 B.C. and adorned with elaborate corded patterns known as jōmon, to natural elm case pieces and storage cabinets built in Qing dynasty–era China to mid-century Thai rice-paper charcoal rubbings, antique and vintage Asian art and furniture make for wonderful additions to all kinds of contemporary interiors.
Eastern elements elevate any home’s decor. Introduce zen sensibility to your living room, dining room and bedroom with the neutral color palettes and the natural materials such as rattan, bamboo and elm that we typically associate with traditional Asian furniture. Decorative handwoven embroideries and textiles originating from India and elsewhere on the continent, which can be draped over a bed or sofa or used as a wall hanging, can be as practical as they are functional, just as you wouldn’t seek out Japanese room-divider screens — often decorated with paintings but constructed to be lightweight and mobile — merely for privacy.
With everything from blanket chests to lighting fixtures to sculptures and carvings, it’s easy to tastefully bring serenity to your living space by looking to the treasures for which the East has long been known.
For British-born furniture designer Andrianna Shamaris, the Japanese concept of beauty in imperfection isn’t limited to her Wabi Sabi collection. She embraces it in her New York City apartment as well. In the living area, for instance, she retained the fireplace’s original black marble while swathing its frame and the rest of the room in bright white.
“We left the fireplace very clean and wabi-sabi, so that it blended into the wall,” says Shamaris, who further appointed the space with a hand-carved antique daybed whose plush pillows are upholstered in antique textiles from the Indonesian island of Sumba.
In the growing antique and vintage Asian art and furniture collection on 1stDibs, find ceramics from China, antiquities from Cambodia and a vast range of tables, seating, dining chairs and other items from Japan, India and other countries.
