AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Burmese Buddha throne – Mandalay style
Luxuriously decorated Burmese throne or temple seat for a Buddha statue, made of wood and finished with red lacquer and gilding. The stepped plinth, tall back, and openwork surround are adorned with finely carved and relief-applied leaf, scroll, and flame motifs. This exuberant ornamentation is characteristic of the Mandalay style and references the design of Burmese royal thrones.
The throne has a worn, aged appearance with signs of wear, dust accumulation, and localized loss of gilding, revealing the red underlayer and the wood.
At the top left, parts of the openwork flame-shaped crown are missing. Also along the left side, a portion of the delicate openwork carving has broken off and been lost. Additionally, there are scattered smaller damages, cracks, and signs of use.
Origin: Burma, present-day Myanmar
Period: presumably early to mid-20th century
Material: carved and openworked wood, red lacquer and gilding
Dimensions: 39 cm high × 24 cm wide × 18 cm deep
Dating is an estimate; for a definitive age determination, examination of the object itself is necessary.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking code.
Seller's Story
Rootz Gallery has an extensive collection of remarkable art objects from the non-Western world and a collection of modern and contemporary art. The art collection originally started with the gathering of modern and contemporary art. Due to a long-standing fascination with other cultures, it was quickly expanded to include non-Western art objects. The gallery has primarily focused on non-Western art for a long time, but has recently also refocused on modern and contemporary art.
Many pieces originate from ritual contexts and have been carefully collected over a period of 40 years. The items, often acquired during travels and coming from old collections, offer a unique insight into authentic cultures and traditions.
