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

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
