Late 20th Century White Murano Art Glass and Brass Set of Two Oval Coffee Tables

About the Item

Set of two off-white textured Murano Art Glass & Brass "Yin & Yang" Coffee Tables. The tables have two different heights: the lowest is 34 cm. while the tallest is 39 cm. Each part of the table rests on three cylinder brass legs of different diameters. Meaning of Yin and Yang, Yinyang, or Yin-Yang: is a Chinese philosophical concept that describes opposite but interconnected forces. In Chinese cosmology, the universe creates itself out of a primary chaos of material energy, organized into the cycles of yin and yang and formed into objects and lives. Yin is the receptive and yang the active principle, seen in all forms of change and difference such as the annual cycle (winter and summer), the landscape (north-facing shade and south-facing brightness), sex (female and male), the formation of both men and women as characters, and sociopolitical history (disorder and order). Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. According to this philosophy, everything has both yin and yang aspects (for instance, shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation.
