Japan Mid Century "Wave" Hardwood Garden Bench

About the Item

Extraordinary mid century design Bench #2 one of a pair currently available This is a handsome Japanese mid century heavy hardwood bench hand chiseled on plank in a dramatic "wave" pattern using traditional Japanese tools "Oire Nomi". The butterfly joint at the end reminds us of George Nakashima's popular technique he used on his famous mid century tables. Solid and Heavy. Genuinely old waxed chocolate patina from care. We have applied a further protective coat of bees wax to ensure continued weather resistant use. Dimensions: Seat height: 18 inches x width: 71 inches x depth: 11.5 inches, 65 pounds Pair available. About Japan's hand chisels "Oire Nomi" The renowned metal-working arts of Japan are reflected in Japanese chisels. Blades are made in two parts: a softer iron body, extending into the handle, and a hard steel cutting piece hammer-welded to the body. Blades are hollow-ground to make sharpening easier.

  • Burmese Carved Hardwood Crowned Buddha Seated in Western Pose, Mid 20th Century
    Located in Austin, TX
    A sublime Burmese carved, lacquered and gilt hardwood crowned Buddha seated in a "western pose", early to mid 20th century, Burma (Myanmar). The elegant and graceful Buddha is portrayed wearing an elaborate six pointed crown with two large "wings" to the side, and a simple robe wrapped around the body and draped over one shoulder. He is seated upon a high stepped throne, his feet resting upon a double lotus pedestal. The Buddha's face is serene. He stares out in the distance calmly, with eyes slightly downcast, and a slight smile on his face. His long, pendulous earlobes blend in with the wings of the elaborate crown upon his head. A lotus bud finial would originally have surmounted the head, but is now missing. He holds one hand in his lap, palm up in a meditative gesture. His other hand rests gently on his knee. This pose, with the Buddha seated upon a raised throne, with both legs planted on the floor, is often referred to as a "western pose". The pose is most often associated with the Bodhisattva Maitreya...
