Extraordinary Chinese Scholar Ying Stone on Stand with Collector Seal
Located in Atlanta, GA
On offer is a vertical Chinese scholar rock balanced on a carved wood display stand. The specimen is a wonderful example of Ying (or Yingde) stone, one of the four famed stone types known to Chinese literati and a less common type than Lingbi or Taihu. Gray in color, it has an extraordinary upright form rising from a small stem, like an "Avatar Mountain" peeking out of the mist. Visually it feels impossible for the stone to balance on its thin stem and the wood base. The illusion is due to the thickness of the depth which is not immediately visible from front or back. This type of exotic form was highly desired by the collector. The surface is remarkable with pronounced schisms, gullies, folding lines, with several formation of openings that give it a grotto and airy feel. Different sceneries are revealed when viewed from different angles, making this one of the most intriguing stones in Tishu Gallery...

Driftwood Carving from Northern Thailand Found in the Chiang Mai Region
Located in Yonkers, NY
A tall northern Thai ancient driftwood carving from the Chiang Mai Region. This tall ancient driftwood carving, originating from the Chiang Mai region in Northern Thailand, is a striking piece of natural art. Found near the Ping River, it features a tall and narrow rustic silhouette that embodies the raw beauty of nature. Its weathered appearance and textural depth make it a captivating decorative item, perfect for adding a touch of organic charm to a modern décor.
Ideal for placing against a plain wall to create a focal point, this driftwood carving can be dramatically enhanced by directional lighting, such as a spotlight positioned below to cast intriguing shadows and highlight its unique contours. This approach not only accentuates its form but also imbues your space with a sense of historical mystique and natural elegance.
Whether positioned in a living room, hallway, or large open-plan area, this Northern Thai wood carving...
