19th Century SE Asian Highly Carved Wooden and Gilded Floor/Wall Cabinet

About the Item

PRESENTING an EXCEPTIONAL AND RARE 19C SE Asian Highly Carved Wooden and Gilded Floor or Wall Case or cabinet featuring Hindu Gods. OUTSTANDING and VERY RARE! Mid 19th Century, circa 1850 and probably Cambodian, Thai or Burmese, carved rosewood floor or wall shelf. We think it is Cambodian. Can be hung on the wall using brackets or used on the floor, as depicted in the photos. Incredibly carved wood. The front has hand-carved statues depicting the Hindu Gods with hand applied gold gilding has been added to highlight the carving and facial features of the Deities. The piece has 12 open shelves each one fronted on either side by a carved depiction of a Hindu God. The central 'shrine' is a 2 door press that opens to reveal two further shelves. The handles to the 'shrine' are likewise made of carved figures of Hindu Gods. There is a large drawer to the central base with a wonderful carving of a female God reclining. The base section is flanked on either side by a pair of glorious 'Foo Dogs' or 'dragons'. The back and side walls of the entire piece consist of hand-carved fretwork to allow back light (Clever use of LED strips looks great with this piece). The Central compartment is designed like a central shrine. Has to be seen to be truly appreciated. a one of a kind piece of art. Timeless, Rare and HIGHLY DESIRABLE! ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!
