Chinese Barrel-Form Brass Urn with Traditional Archaistic Ornamentation and Lid
Located in Palm Desert, CA
A Chinese four-legged barrel-form brass urn cast and engraved with archaistic decoration from the 20th century. The gently rounded sides are cast with the dispersed elements of two taotie masks, Archaistic auspicious beasts formed by a pair of stylized and confronted dragons which constitutes the features of this mythical creature, abstractly rendered in low-relief hooked curls. Two bands of kui or passing dragons flank the taotie ornamentation on the belly, all upon an engraved and very finely delineated white leiwen ground symbolizing thunder. Raised on four atlantes with a few anatomical engraved details, the urn possesses a flat circular lid decorated with stylized birds and topped with a phoenix-shaped knob with a ring, a propitious symbol in Chinese art. The white engraved ground nicely contrasting with the dark patina along with the Archaistic traditional low relief decoration echoes Chinese archaic ritual bronzes used in ceremonies or buried in the tombs of the elites for use in the afterlife. This Chinese barrel...

Island Style Boho Chic Resin Tiki Tribal Large Drum End or Accent Table
By Casa Bique
Located in Topeka, KS
Awesome Island style Boho Chic resin Tiki Tribal large drum end or accent table somewhat in the style of Casa Bique. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. We have touched up a few nicks. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century.
Nothing gets you moving quite like the beat of a drum! And though technically, you won’t be dropping a beat with this drum table, it’s sure to get your adrenaline motivated!! Take another look at this gorgeous Tiki Tribal drum end or accent table in the style of Casa Bique Ltd.!!! Although, we think it possibly IS Casa Bique since it came from a home with two other pieces that are labeled as such AND it exudes details indicative of the high style designs produced by Casa Bique Ltd., but either way, it is MAGNIFICENT!! Originally from the Philippines and now it’s here to grace your home with all of its Island and a little Boho chic Style! The whole table is comprised of hand-crafted resin, and it has a removeable top, so you have a secret compartment to stash blankets, linens, books, or whatever!! The base is covered in carved Tikis and tribal designs, wrapped in realistic faux rope design at the base and around the drumhead of the table, and a brown leather-look faux drumhead. It is going to be the perfect Island accent to your boho chic living room, next to a lounge chair in your sitting room, or any room in your beach home, Industrial loft, or Floridian Lanai. This could also go outside on a covered patio or porch. Listen…Do you hear that? It’s the beat of the Island drum...

privilege in addition to decorative functions. Life size “spirit path” stone horse sculptures are known and can be viewed from Ming dynasty tombs including thirteen imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty scattered over an area of forty square kilometers in Changping District to the northwest of Beijing.

Carved Teak Indian Temple Column
Located in Chicago, IL
This monumental Indian column once supported part of the entrance or courtyard cloister in a grand mansion. Originally part of a series, this individual column is all that remains. The piece comes in multiple stacked segments, distributing the weight of the original structure from its floral motif capital through its stone plinth. Only one is available. Origin: Rajasthan, India, 19th century.
During the colonial period, Indian traders amassed huge fortunes and some of that wealth found its way into mansions and palaces. A hundred or more years later, many (if not most) of these structures are obsolete or the fortunes of their owners have dwindled. Many are in urban areas in which land is very valuable now and aggressively sought for multi-storey buildings. Old single-storey mansions are often disassembled piece-by piece and the parts sold on the international market. India is one of very few countries that have the labor supply to decommission old structures in this meticulous way.
The column could be used in an architectural, load-bearing way or as a free-standing decoration...
