About the Item

This striking vintage metal pagoda sculpture captures the spirit of chinoiserie design with architectural precision and decorative flair. Crafted in a tiered, openwork form, it features circular balconies, Greek key motifs, and suspended tassel details that add both rhythm and movement. At the top, a removable domed lid is crowned with a sculpted fish finial, allowing the piece to function as both an objet d’art and a vessel. The dark bronze finish with gilt highlights emphasizes its sculptural lines and intricate craftsmanship, giving it a commanding presence without feeling heavy. Whether styled on a console, mantel, or tabletop, this piece lends an exotic yet timeless sophistication, bridging Hollywood Regency drama with traditional Asian-inspired artistry.

Pair of Monumental Hand-Carved Koi Table Bases
Located in Sarasota, FL
A commanding pair of hand-carved hardwood table bases featuring expressive koi or mythological fish rising upright from squared plinths.

The koi, long revered in Chinese symbolism as icons of prosperity, endurance, and transformation, are paired here with a dramatic sculptural presence that evokes Victorian maximalism. These bases are versatile in application—ideal as supports for a custom marble or glass dining table, or used separately as twin console tables...
