1750 Venezia Italy Pair of Giltwood and Carved Red Lacquered Figures
Located in Brescia, IT
This is an extraordinary pair of warrior sculpted in gilded wood with red lacquer on the garments. These very rare pieces hail from the Mid-18th Century, and showcase exquisite craftsmanships through meticulously carved depictions of the garments, of the muscular arms and in particular for the refined and elaborate scroll designs on the garments in rare red lacquer.
At the top of the long branch in the figure's hands there is a flat base that can be used to place vases or objects.
The predilection for the exotic, which always played a preponderant role in Venetian artistic history, finds striking confirmation in the proliferation of these figures which make their appearance as polychrome furnishing elements already in the inventories of the 17th-Century. The 18th- Century decreed the triumph of these powerful figures sculpted in the round, variously used as torch holders, tray holders or vase holders.
One of the most Venetian furniture expert, D.ssa Clara Santini, said about these magnificent sculptures:
On rocky pedestals, this spectacular pair of warriors appears magnificently dressed in effortful oriental-style costumes. The bright gold of the dresses, embellished with red lacquer curlicues, are counterpointed by the ebony black lacquer and the red of the lips.
The bodies seem to arch in the gusts of wind which also inflate their clothes
The pieces are in very good state of maintenance and they are guaranteed original in every parts. The surface was only cleaned not restored and it is original.
The pair of gilt wood and carved red lacquered sculptures...

Japanese Gilt Seated Kannon Figure, circa 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
Intricately carved and finished with gilt black lacquer, this seated figure depicts the bodhisattva Guanyin, known in Japanese Buddhism as Kannon. Described as the "Buddha of Infinite Compassion," Kannon is the embodiment of mercy and makes himself available to all who call upon him with all their mind.
Kannon is depicted here seated in diamond position upon a double lotus plinth, set above a stepped base. He is dressed in gracefully draped robes and wears a tall crown bearing a minuscule figure of Amida, the Buddha of Infinite Light. He has a serene expression of calm and holds his right hand in the abhaya mudra, a gesture of comfort, blessing, and protection. Backed by a magnificent leaf-form nimbus, this Kannon figure...

Japanese Lacquered and Gilt Wood Buddhism Statue from Edo Period
Located in Atlanta, GA
An exceptional and wood statue of Buddhism Guardian Seitaka Doji from Japan circa Edo period (1603-1868), likely the earlier part of 17th century. One of two chief attendants of Fudou Myouou (the other being Kongara Doji), the name of Seitaka Doji is a transliteration of Sanskrit "Cetaka", meaning servant, slave, and he is said to personify expedient action. He is most commonly found on the right side of Fudou, together with Kongara Doji on the left, forming the Immovable triad, Fudou Sanzon, the terror of evil doers. Seitaka largely adheres to the iconography of a wrathful youth with fleshy body and face, skin in the color of a red lotus, has his hair tied in five knots, and holds a vajra in his left hand and a vajra-club in his right hand, but the actual artistic representations of him in Japan do...

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...
