Large wooden Buddha sculpture probably Laos, 19th-20th century
Located in Milano, IT
In the heart of your sacred space, there resides a timeless masterpiece—a magnificent wooden Buddha sculpture that whispers secrets of the ages. Crafted with utmost devotion, this ethereal creation is believed to have its roots in the mystic lands of Burma, dating back to the 19th or perhaps even the early 20th century. As you gaze upon it, you'll find yourself transported through the corridors of history. This remarkable Buddha, a harmonious blend of two distinct eras, is a testament to the enduring spirit of artistry. Its features evoke echoes of a bygone era, the Pagan period, a time when devotion was expressed through the chisel and the keen eye of a master sculptor. The small, delicate mouth seems to whisper ancient wisdom, while the wide forehead exudes an aura of profound contemplation. The narrow waist and the gently rounded shoulders and chest reveal the artistry's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the essence of a bygone Burmese sculptural style. Seated in the full lotus position, the Buddha exudes an aura of tranquility that permeates every inch of your room. His right hand gracefully rests upon his knee, cradling a precious myrobalan fruit...

Fine Vintage Laotian Silk Chok Weaving Interior Design Textiles
Located in London, GB
A beautiful Vintage Laotian hand woven silk chok cloth in black background with a variety of supplementary colours with detailed geometric and mythical animal designs, a stunning piece of silk weaving executed by some of the best and most skilled weavers in the world. Chok weaving is a technique where two or more different coloured threads are inserted between each row of warp thread. These are inserted by hand, so it’s akin to embroidery or carpet weaving. Size 80 x 18 inches 200 x 45 cm approx. Period 1970s About weaving in Laos The evolution of weaving in Laos, which emerged from the cultural contact between different ethnic groups, has created some of the most intricate and stunning textiles to come from the simple floor loom. For more than 40 years following World War II, Lao weaving all but disappeared. Within a few short years, Lao textiles, in particular the Lao Tai people's supplementary weft weaving, travelled from the brink of extinction to what is considered by collectors and connoisseurs to be amongst the finest textiles in the world. Silk production, dying and weaving reached Laos with the arrival of the Tai Kadai people from Yunnan in today’s China, around 1,200 years ago. As they travelled through the region, they encountered the indigenous Mon-Khmer people who were already weaving other types of fabric, mostly raw cotton and hemp. In Lao-Tai textiles...
