Antique wooden table, gong, hand-carved frame, fully restored by our workshops and covered with gold and silver leaves.
Carved in hardwood, two immortals covered with 24-carat gold and silver leaves stand proudly on a wooden base carved with peony flowers.
In Buddhism, it is synonymous with sweetness, for wherever the young Buddha set foot, peonies bloomed.

The peacock, sacred bird of India, symbol of beauty, fertility and immortality.
The peacock is a snake killer in India and is considered to be immune to snake bites.
A whole symbolism is born behind it. The struggle of the peacock against the snake refers to the struggle of light against darkness.
Held under the peacock's feet, the snake can no longer do harm and must submit.
In addition to this, the Hindus also believed that the peacock's coat came directly from the venom of the snakes, which, instead of killing them, gave them these "magical" colours, again symbolising the channelling of evil into something flamboyant.
This piece is unique.
