About the Item
This unique pair of teak Asian carved dragon canoe-form étagere bookcases is a striking blend of artistry, cultural symbolism, and functionality. Crafted with remarkable attention to detail, each étagere takes the form of a traditional canoe, enhanced with intricate carvings and a commanding dragon motif—a symbol of power, protection, and prosperity in Asian tradition. The rich teak wood, known for its durability and warm patina, showcases hand-carved floral and foliate designs on the cabinet doors, adding layers of depth and elegance to the design.
Each étagere features a versatile combination of open shelving and enclosed storage. The open upper shelves are ideal for displaying books, art, or collectibles, while the carved cabinets below offer concealed storage space for valuables or decorative objects. The tall, narrow profile makes these bookcases perfect for adding vertical drama to a room while remaining practical for smaller spaces.
Whether used as statement bookcases, display cabinets, or conversation pieces, this pair embodies the artistry of Asian furniture design. Perfect for collectors, interior designers, or those seeking exotic and functional décor, these dragon canoe-form étagere bookcases will bring both cultural richness and unique character to any home or office. A rare and highly decorative set that exudes timeless craftsmanship and bold style.

Pair of Monumental Hand-Carved Koi Table Bases
Located in Sarasota, FL
A commanding pair of hand-carved hardwood table bases featuring expressive koi or mythological fish rising upright from squared plinths. Their highly detailed features—arched tails, deeply incised scales, fan-like fins, and stylized expressions—create an incredible sense of movement and artistry.
