Carved Stone Praying Monk antique-lacquer The simple blackened brass handles

The simple blackened brass handles add a decorative element to an otherwise very stripped back

The design of this low lattice shelf harks back to earlier door and window panels in Chinese homes and is made in the same way - each individual piece of wood fitting into the next with mortise and tenon joints

With a frame made from fir wood

as well as a slightly curved seat with a rattan inlay
