Antique Bronze & Hand Carved Wood Chinese Floor or Table Gong w. Bird Sculpture
About the Item
Rare, striking (no pun intended) and top quality workmanship, antique Chinese gong with hammer.
This hand-crafted Chinese gong from the early 1900s is both practical to use and beautiful to look at. The large bronze gong itself is wonderfully decorated with hand-created grooves, but maybe that was also done to create the beautiful warm gong sound. This stunning antique could serve as a floor gong, but on the right (side)table this rare antique could create the perfect atmosphere, because it also radiates a certain peace and calm. This fine Chinese specimen may have been used as a house gong, but in this day and age it could also be used in a setting for spiritual growth / meditation. The gorgeous hardwood is hand carved to perfection and the stunning and undoubtedly meaningful / symbolic bird sculpture truly is like the proverbial icing on the cake. We have never understood how the master carvers in those days were able to not only carve in such great details out of such hard wood, but also to create a surface that is both rounded and polished to perfection. This finest of rare specimens also comes with the original gong hammer (as shown in some of our images) and it is ready for you to use and enjoy. Our fair price for this top quality workmanship, Chinese antique even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
Maximum height x width x depth: 33.5 x 19.9 x 8.9 inches.
Diameter x depth of the hand-crafted bronze gong: 16 x 2.8 inches.

- Antique Hand Carved Chinese Nutwood & Inlaid Marble Stand / Wine Table W. MarksLocated in Lisse, NLPerfect size, best price, 19th century Chinese stand, with calligraphy-like marks underneath. This entirely handcrafted, Chinese table from circa 1880-1890 is as strong and stable as the day it was made and it has the most beautiful patina. Thanks to its ideal design and size this, to us, is the perfect wine table or perhaps a pedestal for an Asian spiritual sculpture. Unfortunately we know nothing about the carved mythological, Chinese figures/creatures (possibly dragons) on each corner. All sides of this solid wooden table also come with striking flower motives and all legs have carved, claw feet. The bottom of the solid wooden structure of this Asian table is marked with Chinese calligraphy -like letters stating its country of origin. Apart from some minor restorations to the wood (that give this antique table even more character), this stylish and rare table is in excellent condition and it is definitely ready for you to use and enjoy.
