Provincial Chinese Collector's Shelf, c. 1900
About the Item
This provincial collector's shelf features three open compartments enclosed by a decorative frame carved with abstract floral motifs. Dated to the late 19th century, the shelf once stood in an office or home studio, displaying a curated collection of precious objects such as porcelains, bronzes, jades, and scholars' rocks. At the base is a shallow drawer with a floral knob, perhaps used for stowing incense accessories and other smalls. Darkened by a warm finish, the shelf boasts a beautifully worn texture that only time can achieve. We love the rich history this small collector's shelf adds to modern interiors, filled with books beside a sofa or piled with towels in a powder room.
From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.

MESA Shelf, Rough Black Acacia Wood
By Moonler
Located in Chiangmai, TH
Aesthetics is not absolute but is a subjective interpretation of an individual’s experiences. The Mesa Collection presents another perspective of beauty which abandons formality. Asymmetric surface, shapes, and features create a more natural form, representing imperfection of the natural world. This furniture piece is therefore perfect to be used in settings that requires flexibility.
