I found this beautiful Asian "demilune" with a pink marble top at GW about a month ago. It's in very nice condition and for $5.99 I swept it up and made a bee line for the checkout ! Never quite sure about the wood on these though, Mahogany, Rosewood, Teak or some other exotic. The pink marble top is in great shape. Fairly modern, I would guess 20th century. I also have a suspicion it may have come from a local Chinese restaurant that closed, reopened and remodeled after the pandemic. It's now the focal point along with a few other pieces in my Asian collection. Sophie just decided she'd pose in the picture. Glowing eyes and all. :) -Mike-
Nice table! Sophie is a sweetie. I have a Sophie, too, but she is a tortie. I have the same representation of the Chinese god wood carving that you do which I bought in Thailand. I bought all three gods but two were damaged in shipping back to the States.
Wonderful demilune!! Beautifully displayed and Sophie just pulls it all together!!
Thanks for the "loves" and the wonderful comments kwqd and Scott. I love Asian art so I don't pass up anything that catches my eye. I've had a few of the carved figures, The one on the bottom is a fisherman but he's lost his pole. My Shou Xing God of Longevity is damaged as well kwqd. The crane at his feet is missing part of one leg. :)
Beautiful and elegant demilune table, it looks amazing with your Asian treasures & Sophie's eyes are just mesmerizing
It's in very nice condition ?/

Thanks for the "love" and comment Jenni. Yes, cats always seem to "bomb" your photos...lol :)
Thank you Apostata. Are you referring to the text in the art above the table ? That's a mixed media picture that I found out came from the Yoseido Gallery in Tokyo, They feature young aspiring artists and their work. I don't know this artist name. no visible signature.
