Carved Teak Burmese Buddha On Tall Throne Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Southeast Asian: Sculpture: Pre 1940 item# 681970 (stock# 64-22)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 SOLD
An unusual Mandalay Buddha seated on a high stepped throne is carved of teak wood covered in a light gold-colored wash applied over red/brown lacquer. The hand position, with palms resting on knees, is rare for a Burmese Buddha, as is the tall throne with exaggerated step design. Elaborate lappets and border trim on the robe and throne are of molded lacquer called "thayo," a Burmese technique done with a mixture of boiled lacquer and finely powdered bone, cow dung or ash that closely r ...click for details

19th Century Metal Wine Pitcher, Republic of Georgia Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Middle Eastern: Metalwork: Pre 1900 item# 681058 (stock# 27-85)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $470
A chased metal vessel used to serve wine, this 19th century pitcher from the Republic of Georgia is a reflection of that small country's historic role as a crossroad between East and West. Georgia's antiques, sometimes European, sometimes Asian in design, mirror its blend of cultural influences. While this wine pitcher obviously has Middle Eastern lines, a look at ancient Georgian wine vessels shows a split in design and motifs between pure East and pure West. Many of the oldest Georgian ...click for details

Rajasthan Miniature Painting Of Mandawa Musician Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Indian Subcontinent: India: Pre 1980 item# 680458 (stock# 61-41)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $120
A miniature from Mandawa in the Shekhawati Region of Rajasthan is focused on just one subject--a kneeling musician. The single subject and muted colors demonstrate differences between Indian miniature schools of painting that were heavily influenced by Mughal style and those that were not. Here there are no strong Mughal colors, intricate patterns of scrolling and textiles, flowers, birds and people filling the space. By contrast, the soft brown tones and space in this Mandawa piece give it a qu ...click for details

Chinese Willow Wood Water Pail Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Folk Art: Pre 1920 item# 680180 (stock# 60-90)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $395
Made of beautifully grained willow wood, this early 20th century Chinese water carrier is just the right size and shape to hold magazines or newspapers. The tall handle is centered with a well done carving of a tree branch and two pomegranates, a traditional symbol of fertility in old China. The oval-shaped body of the vessel is made of curved willow wood staves fitted tightly together and held with two brass bands. Although the piece seems too handsome for its intended use as a water pail, the ...click for details

Tall Copper Water Urn From Nepal Catalogue: Popular Collectibles: Cultural: Pre 1990 item# 678833 (stock# 08-31)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $360
Made of handbeaten copper, lidded urns in this design are used for household water storage in Kathmandu, Nepal, where many homes do not have running water. Daily trips to community wells are made, usually by women, who carry water home in narrow necked vessels, then pour it into containers like this. Copper vessels of all sorts are made in Patan, the artisan section of the city, where small back streets echo with the sounds of copper and other metals being beaten into bowls, pots, utensils, vats ...click for details

Small Bronze Ava-Style Burmese Buddha Catalogue: Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Southeast Asian: Sculpture: Pre 1920 item# 678034 (stock# 63-44)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $395
Seated in lotus position, this early 20th century bronze Burmese Buddha has classic Ava features. The right hand is in bhumisparsa mudra (earth touching, centering), the robe is quite simple, the face triangular with small upturned mouth and the head is topped with an onion-shaped finial--all Ava attributes. Unlike the more ornate double lotus throne seen on many Ava figures, however, this Buddha of later vintage sits on a plain waisted throne. The relatively small size and simplicity of the thr ...click for details

Chinese Huxian Folk Painting Of Children Catalogue: Popular Collectibles: Cultural: Chinese: Pre 1990 item# 677672 (stock# 12-21)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $375
In a folk painting from Huxian County, Shaanxi Province, two charming little girls are seen from the back as they walk to school. One of them appears to be whispering a secret to her friend. Gouache on paper, the painting is unsigned, as is typical for such folk pieces. Huxian (Huhsien) was China's first peasant painting community, established in 1958 in a rural region about an hour's drive outside the city of Xian. From Huxian the peasant painting movement spread across China and by 198 ...click for details

Large Chinese Cloisonne Baluster Vase With Stand Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Enamel: Pre 1980 item# 677063 (stock# 24-24)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $895
This tall baluster-form cloisonne urn from China is an artful presentation of the color blue--from tones of light powder through turquoise and violet to midnight. The blues are arranged on a white ground and sparked with touches of cinnabar red. Enameled on a brass base with brass wires, the blues portray scrolling foliage and flowers interspersed with classic Chinese repeat patterns (diaper). Starburst flowers and foliage encircle the widest part of the form. Stylized upright leaves march aroun ...click for details

Still Life By Hanoi Painter Pham Luc Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Southeast Asian: Paintings: Pre 1980 item# 674602 (stock# 61-74)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $120
A still life by Vietnamese artist Pham Luc, this watercolor shows the exuberant style and warm colors that have characterized his paintings for many decades. Now in his late 60s, Pham Luc is among the Hanoi painters who attracted the attention of collectors and galleries in Hong Kong and Singapore when foreigners began going back into Vietnam after the war. Pham Luc was known first in Vietnam as the "soldier painter" for work he produced while he was in the army. After graduating from ...click for details

Kishangarh Miniature Painting of Musician and Peacock Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Indian Subcontinent: India: Pre 1980 item# 673699 (stock# 61-38)
click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $90
A miniature by Kishangarh painter Yogya Pralash, this work, with the addition of a peacock at the lady's feet, becomes a symbol of grace, joy, beauty and love. The peacock, national bird of India, figures importantly in Indian culture as an emblem to convey those sentiments. The musician's attire echoes the colors of the peacock's plumage and she plays a stringed instrument in a traditional pose found in miniatures from the Indian state of Rajasthan. This late 20th century painting, ...click for details
