Pair of Oriental Carved Wood Parasol Bases

1900 - 1920
Description

A right and left pair of Oriental carved wood parasol bases, richly detailed and full of sculptural presence, each modelled as a standing figure supporting a cylindrical, decorated column designed to hold a parasol or ceremonial pole. The carving is expressive and confident, with layered patterns, symbolic motifs and characterful faces that give the pieces a strong narrative quality.

The cylindrical supports are embellished with floral and geometric designs, along with incised characters, all executed with the rhythmic precision typical of traditional East Asian craftsmanship. Each figure stands on a shaped plinth with short feet, giving the bases stability as well as a pleasing architectural stance.

These are decorative objects with real personality—equally compelling as functional parasol stands or as sculptural accents in their own right. Their combination of folk charm, cultural symbolism and intricate workmanship makes them ideal for eclectic interiors, collectors of Asian decorative arts, or anyone looking for a pair of unusual statement pieces.

They read beautifully as a pair and bring warmth, history and individuality to a space.

Delivery can be arranged nationwide, please contact me for further details
