Scholars in China's Qing dynasty often turned to the natural world as inspiration for their musings. These influences are apparent in the brushes, tables, pictures, and inkstones they surrounded themselves with. Root sculptures like this figure are born of this inspiration. As we have collected items from the past whose stories and utility live into the present, items like this wise individual stand out. This unique sculpture speaks to its original context while offering a natural warmth and solidity to any modern room.

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.”
