Chinese Famille Rose Fish Bowl with Peach Banquet, c. 1900
Located in Chicago, IL
Every inch of this fantastic Chinese fish bowl is adorned with hand-painted overglaze enamels, a manner of porcelain decorating known as famille rose. Rendered in pastel shades and gilded accents, famille rose porcelain was popular in the late Qing dynasty (1648-1911) as an export style that melded the technical virtuosity of imperial porcelain with fanciful color palettes that met Western tastes. Beautifully painted with intricate detail and soft shading, the enameled fish bowl depicts the Eight Immortals of Taoist mythology journeying to attend the peach banquet of the Queen Mother of the West. Considered the goddess of longevity, this heavenly deity holds a banquet every 6,000 years to share her peaches of immortality, a myth popularized in the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. The Eight Immortals each ride a mythical beast towards the Queen's mountain palace, surrounded by cranes and spotted deer for further blessings of longevity. The interior of the bowl is decorated as well, enameled with goldfish and underwater flora. Today, we love using a bowl of this scale as an indoor fish pond...

Vintage Hand Woven Indonesian Ikat Textile Panel
Located in Barrington, IL
A striking vintage hand-woven Ikat textile panel from Indonesia, dating to the mid-1900s. This artisanal piece features a bold abstract design, achieved through the meticulous process of warp ikat—a technique in which the threads are selectively tie-dyed before weaving to create complex, interlocking patterns. Woven from natural cotton fibers, this panel likely originates from the Lesser Sunda Islands in eastern Indonesia, possibly from the culturally rich island of Sumba. The intricate craftsmanship and dynamic geometric forms reflect traditional Indonesian textile artistry while offering a timeless, global aesthetic. Ideal for display as wall-mounted tribal art, this textile adds texture, heritage, and warmth to any interior, whether as a centerpiece in modern spaces or a complementary accent in eclectic or traditional décor.
