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.

These bases are versatile in application—ideal as supports for a custom marble or glass dining table, or used separately as twin console tables...
