Rare and authentic antique Burmese Shan late 19th betel box. This piece is sold unapologetically “as is”, and would make an ideal “anatomical” study piece for anyone with a genuine interest in the art of Burmese lacquer making. Please note: I have put a single grain of rice (long grain) in some of the enlargements for perspective to appreciate the fine craftsmanship that went into making such a simple piece. The two halves fit into one another with same precision as a piston and cyl... Click for details

Raffles is remembered for discovering Borobodur, the magnificent Buddhist temple complex in central Java, and for documenting the cultural and classical history of Java. As with most contemporary and antique Javanese furniture in the colonial style, the chairs are primarily European in design with Javanese touches. ... Click for details
