Characters carved in lyrical script on this wood tablet literally translate to House, Phoenix and Mystical Bird. Bestowed to an individual respected in a community, these words together would symbolically honor the person as well developed, moral, and ethical. If the tablet were given to a couple, it would have honored their harmonious relationship. A 19th-century sign of honor, such as this one, would have been prominently displayed in a residence, office, or creative studio.

What They're Saying

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
