Asian Shrine For Sale on 1stDibs

With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the Asian shrine you’re looking for. Each Asian shrine for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, metal and lacquer. There are many kinds of the Asian shrine you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 20th Century. An Asian shrine made by Folk Art designers — as well as those associated with Mid-Century Modern — is very popular. Many designers have produced at least one well-made Asian shrine over the years, but those crafted by Hiroshi Yoshida, Kawase Hasui and Takahashi Hiroaki are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much is an Asian Shrine?

The average selling price for an Asian shrine at 1stDibs is $1,595, while they’re typically $65 on the low end and $251,805 for the highest priced.

Finding the Right Asian-art-furniture for You

From Japanese handmade earthenware pottery, originating circa 14,500 B.C. and adorned with elaborate corded patterns known as jōmon, to natural elm case pieces and storage cabinets built in Qing dynasty–era China to mid-century Thai rice-paper charcoal rubbings, antique and vintage Asian art and furniture make for wonderful additions to all kinds of contemporary interiors.

Eastern elements elevate any home’s decor. Introduce zen sensibility to your living room, dining room and bedroom with the neutral color palettes and the natural materials such as rattan, bamboo and elm that we typically associate with traditional Asian furniture. Decorative handwoven embroideries and textiles originating from India and elsewhere on the continent, which can be draped over a bed or sofa or used as a wall hanging, can be as practical as they are functional, just as you wouldn’t seek out Japanese room-divider screens — often decorated with paintings but constructed to be lightweight and mobile — merely for privacy.

With everything from blanket chests to lighting fixtures to sculptures and carvings, it’s easy to tastefully bring serenity to your living space by looking to the treasures for which the East has long been known.

For British-born furniture designer Andrianna Shamaris, the Japanese concept of beauty in imperfection isn’t limited to her Wabi Sabi collection. She embraces it in her New York City apartment as well. In the living area, for instance, she retained the fireplace’s original black marble while swathing its frame and the rest of the room in bright white.

“We left the fireplace very clean and wabi-sabi, so that it blended into the wall,” says Shamaris, who further appointed the space with a hand-carved antique daybed whose plush pillows are upholstered in antique textiles from the Indonesian island of Sumba.

In the growing antique and vintage Asian art and furniture collection on 1stDibs, find ceramics from China, antiquities from Cambodia and a vast range of tables, seating, dining chairs and other items from Japan, India and other countries.
