Rare Amazing Antique Tibetan Carved Wood Temple Altar Scroll Box Early 1800’s
Posted by admin On October 31, 2024
An antique Tibetan Buddhism intricately and beautifully hand carved wooden temple box. With one side having two carved dragons and the other side a phoenix bird. There are Tibetan symbols and Himalayan vegetal scrolling carved throughout. I believe this box was used for scrolls or kept on an altar. It dates to approximately the early 19th century, but possibly much earlier. It is a very old box. The box appears to be carved from one piece of wood with some piercing showing through on the dragon side (please see photos). It measures: 11 1/4 in tall (to the top of lid) x 7 in wide x 13 in long. The height of the box without the lid is 9 inches. It weighs 12 lbs. It is in good antique condition. It is very old and has expected inconsistencies relating to it’s age. The only issue is there is a piece of wood on one of the top side rims which looks like it was added later? It is also very old. It sits a bit higher than the rest of the top rim which causes the lid to not sit completely flat on top (please see photos). A truly rare and unique one of a kind collectible piece showcasing the rich culture of Tibet. Please message me with any questions and thanks for looking.

SUPERB RARE EARLY ROBERT MOUSEMAN THOMPSON TEA TRAY WITH 2 SIGNATURE MICE 1940’s
Posted by admin On October 28, 2024
RARE EARLY ROBERT MOUSEMAN THOMPSON TEA / DRINKS TRAY WITH 2 SIGNATURE MICE – 1940s. A superb hand carved Robert’Mouseman’ Thompson tea tray, dating to the 1940s. These rectangular shaped trays are very highly sought after by collectors as they are quite rare to the market, normally they are kidney shaped. It has 2 well carved early signature mice either end of the tray. It is a beautiful dark oak colour with wonderful patina. It has also been hand adzed to the top as well as all around the rim. It is in very good condition with just some minor wear to the rim (please see pictures) and some water staining to the top and bottom. Other than that, it just has wear consistent with the age of the piece, which is to be expected as it is now approximately 80 years old. A lot of these early trays are heavily stained and warped due to drinks spillages. This one is in nice condition, a good example. It measures 55.5 cm (including mice handles) x 31.2 cm. Buyers are welcome to collect, I live just a few miles north of Durham. I have quite a few Mouseman pieces for sale, including a bespoke lamp, and an early stool – please see my other items.
