In Awe of Asia | Large Antique Map of Asia

In the late 1700s, Asia was a bustling hub of cultural and scientific exchange! During this period, the Qing Dynasty in China was known for its impressive "Imperial Workshops," where artisans and craftsmen created intricate porcelain, textiles, and paintings that fascinated Europeans. Meanwhile, in Japan, the art of woodblock printing, known as ukiyo-e, was flourishing, capturing scenes of landscapes, kabuki actors, and beautiful women that would later influence Western artists like Vincent van Gogh. Asia was truly a vibrant and influential region during this time!

This large antique map of Asia and her islands hails from London c. 1799 and has been custom framed behind plexiglass. Fun fact, there is also one in the library of congress, $595.

SOLD - Bamboozled Lamp

Tenacious B

Bamboo does not only play an important role in ancient Chinese culture, it is often compared to the ideal behavior model of a modern gentleman. Bamboo has integrity, elegance, plainness, and tenacity. These are all characteristics Chinese people expect a typical gentleman to have.

This 70s wood lamp was hand carved to look like bamboo. The floor lamp is currently painted canary yellow but could easily be changed to match your interior.
