About the Item

Striking in ebonized rattan, this vintage Hekman desk pairs sculptural form with timeless functionality. The stained black finish reveals warm undertones, allowing the natural cane texture to shine through while adding depth and richness. A fitted glass top protects the woven surface, while three drawers with brass ring pulls provide storage and symmetry. The raised back features a fretwork lattice medallion with side shelves for styling or organization, giving the piece both architectural interest and utility. With its blend of Hollywood Regency flair and coastal sophistication, this versatile desk transitions easily from writing table to vanity to console, lending elegance and presence to any space.

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. Likely crafted for export during the late 19th to early 20th century, the forms draw on both Eastern and Western design language. The koi, long revered in Chinese symbolism as icons of prosperity, endurance, and transformation, are paired here with a dramatic sculptural presence that evokes Victorian maximalism. These bases are versatile in application—ideal as supports for a custom marble or glass dining table, or used separately as twin console tables...
