A superb quality and palatial pair of French 19th century lifesize cast-iron sculptures - torcheres of Native American Indians titled "L’ Indienne" designed by Jules Salmson (French, 1823-1902) and Cast by Le Fonderies d'Art du Val d'Osne, each standing figure representing a Native American Indian male and a female scantily dressed in their native robes, one arm raised holding a light-torch with an opaline glass globe, both wearing earrings, seashell necklaces and arm-braces, raised on cylindrical cast-iron stand. Signed/cast on each pedestal: “VAL D’OSNE”. (Electrified). Paris, circa 1870-1880.

Moroccan Tamgroute vintage, 1960's green olive jar with handles, or planter. Handcrafted by the Berber people in Tamgroute Morocco. Great glazed earthenware with different hues of green and black. A pair is available, slightly different glaze Top diameter is 10" inside opening is 7" D. Jar is 38" H x 20" D in the widest part. Wonderful green and brown shimmering that can be found only in south Morocco in the village of Tamgroute. The color and texture is a result of the particular alchemy created by the potters of Tamegroute and remains a family affair handed down through the generations. Each pottery piece is completely unique and no two are ever the same. Please note that the traditional method in which the plates are fired involves stacking which result in tiny ‘scars’ inside the plate and in the glaze making, each bowl is unique the beauty is found in the imperfection of each piece. Tamegroute pottery are true showpieces showing that even imperfect can be perfect. Tamegroute remains the only rural pottery in Morocco using oxidized copper which creates its famous green color. Its potteries are also the only location where you will find their unique forms. The process however remains much the same. Clay is dug up from the local Draa river banks, thrown by hand & fired inkilns built into steep slopes using a single firing. Vintage green glazed pottery...

Awesome Island style Boho Chic resin Tiki Tribal large drum end or accent table somewhat in the style of Casa Bique.

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!!
