There’s a quiet elegance to this piece that feels straight out of a refined sitting room—soft light, warm tones, and intricate detail coming together in a way that immediately elevates its surroundings. This French Regency-inspired buffet lamp captures that atmosphere beautifully, with a tall, slender candlestick silhouette that draws the eye upward to its glowing shade and shimmering fringe.

There is something quietly powerful about an owl carved from stone — a presence that feels ancient, observant, and deeply rooted in time. This vintage hand-carved Italian alabaster owl carries that spirit effortlessly, shaped from luminous natural stone whose soft bands of cream, honey, and warm earth tones flow organically through the form. No two areas are alike, making this piece entirely unique, as nature intended. The owl’s expression is captivating. Inset glass eyes catch the light with a subtle glimmer, giving the sculpture a sense of awareness and character that feels almost alive. Carefully carved feather details wrap around the body, while the owl perches atop a stylized log base, grounding the piece with balance and visual weight. Every curve and contour reflects the skilled hands of Italian artisans who specialized in alabaster carving during the mid-20th century. Made in Italy and carved from genuine alabaster or banded onyx marble, this figurine embodies classic European craftsmanship. Alabaster has long been prized for its soft translucence and natural variation, qualities that make each carving a one-of-a-kind work of art. This piece works beautifully as a decorative accent, collectible sculpture, or statement paperweight in a curated space. As a vintage stone carving, light surface variations and natural characteristics are present and consistent with age and material, adding to the authenticity and charm of the piece. It displays beautifully and offers a timeless, grounded elegance that complements both modern and traditional interiors. Discovered by Treasures of Bako — Have we got a gem for you.
An imposing decorative statement piece, this vintage Japanese-style pillar candle holder is masterfully crafted to emulate the grandeur of antique bronze champlevé urns. Rising to an impressive scale, the form features a classical baluster body set on a stepped plinth base, crowned by a wide candle platform designed to support a substantial pillar. Ornate scrolled handles flank the neck, adding architectural presence and reinforcing its Old World silhouette. The surface artistry is richly layered, featuring confronted peacocks (or stylized phoenixes) within a central medallion—an enduring symbol of harmony, beauty, and longevity in Asian decorative tradition. Surrounding the motif, interlaced scrollwork, acanthus-inspired foliage, and classical flourishes are rendered in raised outlines, then hand-painted in deep teal, verdant green, muted crimson, and aged gold. The intentionally crackled, antiqued finish enhances the illusion of timeworn bronze and enamel, creating a convincing faux champlevé aesthetic. Constructed from a hand-painted composite rather than cast metal, this piece was designed as a decorative home accent, blending Eastern-inspired ornament with late 20th-century collector décor sensibilities. With its dramatic scale and sculptural handles, it commands attention whether styled solo or paired for symmetrical impact on a mantel, console, or entry display.

An exquisite expression of traditional Japanese cookware, this hammered copper shabu shabu pot embodies both craftsmanship and ceremony. Designed for communal tabletop dining, the vessel reflects the long-standing culinary tradition of shabu shabu—where thin slices of meat and fresh vegetables are gently swirled through simmering broth. The richly textured hammered copper exterior offers not only visual elegance but also exceptional heat conductivity, allowing the pot to warm quickly and maintain a steady cooking temperature. At the heart of the design is the distinctive central chimney, a hallmark of classic shabu shabu pots. This hollow cone increases the surface area exposed to heat, ensuring the broth remains lively and responsive as ingredients are added throughout the meal. The pot is complemented by ornate gold-tone handles adorned with a double-bird motif—often interpreted as mandarin ducks, symbols of harmony and good fortune in Japanese culture—adding an element of artistry to its already striking form. Traditionally produced by makers such as Takekoshi, pieces like this bridge the worlds of functional cookware and collectible culinary heritage. Whether used for authentic shabu shabu gatherings, displayed in a refined kitchen setting, or incorporated into a curated collection of international cookware, the pot carries the warmth of shared meals and the timeless beauty of Japanese design.

A moment suspended between adventure and devotion unfolds across the restless sea in Love Knots, the celebrated romantic illustration by American artist Clarence F. Underwood. Two figures lean forward together at the helm of a small motorboat, their gaze fixed on the horizon as emerald waves surge beneath them.

This is a distinctive Japanese baseball collectible bundle featuring an authentic group of Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles promotional mini figures from the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

Bathed in warm coastal light, this original oil painting captures the timeless romance of a Mediterranean hillside village descending toward the sea. Rendered with confident palette-knife strokes and rich impasto texture, the composition invites the eye down a sunlit stone pathway framed by rustic homes, climbing florals, and terracotta rooftops. In the distance, sailboats drift across calm blue waters, adding depth, serenity, and a sense of quiet movement to the scene.

There is movement captured in this glass — a frozen crest of ocean swell rising and curling in luminous layers of celadon and turquoise. The rim lifts and folds like wind-touched silk, creating a sculptural silhouette that changes from every angle. Light travels through the body in soft ribbons of white and blue, revealing depth, dimension, and the unmistakable rhythm of hand-formed Murano artistry. The fluid “handkerchief” form is a hallmark of Venetian glassmaking — a technique that demands both timing and instinct. Each curve feels spontaneous, yet perfectly balanced. The ribbed texture along one rising crest catches the light in brilliant lines, while the marbled interior evokes seafoam drifting across shallow coastal waters. This is not simply a vessel; it is a moment of motion preserved in crystal clarity. Whether placed where sunlight can pass through it or illuminated under evening lamps, this piece becomes a living presence within a room — serene, refined, and quietly commanding. A striking example of Italian art glass designed to be admired from every side. Discovered by Treasures Of Bako - Have we got a gem for you?!
This generously scaled, hand-painted landscape on canvas presents a tranquil pastoral scene centered around a thatched cottage, a gently arched stone bridge, and a winding stream that draws the eye through layers of rolling greenery. Tall, cypress-like trees frame the composition, while softened florals and brush-textured foliage in cool blues, greens, and subtle pinks create a calm, atmospheric depth. The painting’s textured surface catches light beautifully, giving the water, sky, and trees a quiet sense of movement that feels both nostalgic and decorative. The work is signed “Ferrante” in the lower left corner. Based on visual characteristics, signature style, and comparable examples in the secondary market, this signature is widely understood to represent a studio name commonly used for decorative oil paintings produced in the late 20th century rather than an individually documented fine artist. These pieces were typically hand-painted in studio settings and sold through department stores and home décor retailers, valued for their scale, warmth, and ability to anchor a room rather than for unique artist provenance. Presented in an ornate dark wood-tone frame with carved detailing, the painting measures approximately 51 inches wide by 42 inches tall including the frame and is ready to hang. It remains in good vintage condition overall, with minor signs of age and handling consistent with a previously owned decorative artwork. This is a substantial, visually calming piece well-suited for a living room, entryway, or office where size, tone, and atmosphere matter more than formality.

This striking winged Cupid, also known as Eros, rises with authority atop a celestial globe, frozen in a moment of myth and motion. One foot balances on a star-etched sphere while his wings spread wide, bow drawn, arm extended forward as if mid-flight through the heavens. The pose is dynamic, expressive, and unmistakably classical, evoking the romance and symbolism of Old World European sculpture. Standing an impressive 17 inches tall, this statue is solid, heavy, and cold to the touch, with the unmistakable presence of cast metal. When tapped, it produces a resonant metallic “clink,” consistent with solid brass or bronze rather than resin or composite. The surface displays a warm golden tone with subtle darker undertones, suggesting either aged brass or bronze—or brass finished in a traditional bronze-style patina, a common and respected technique used in high-quality decorative sculpture throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Stylistically, the piece aligns closely with French Art Nouveau–inspired figural sculpture, often associated with the Moreau school aesthetic—flowing forms, romantic mythology, and dramatic posture designed to be admired from every angle. While no visible maker’s mark or signature was found, the craftsmanship, weight, and sculptural detail place it firmly within the category of high-end vintage decorative art, not mass-produced décor. The base itself is sculpted rather than flat, reinforcing the celestial theme with carved stars and dimensional texture, giving the entire statue a sense of movement and narrative. Whether placed on a mantel, pedestal, console table, or within a curated art collection, this is a centerpiece object—bold, romantic, and timeless. This piece comes from an estate setting and shows natural surface wear and patina consistent with age, enhancing its character without compromising its visual impact. It is not a reproduction resin figure; it is a substantial, old-world style sculpture meant to last generations. Discovered by Treasures of Bako – Have we got a gem for you

This striking winged Cupid, also known as Eros, rises with authority atop a celestial globe, frozen in a moment of myth and motion. One foot balances on a star-etched sphere while his wings spread wide, bow drawn, arm extended forward as if mid-flight through the heavens. The pose is dynamic, expressive, and unmistakably classical, evoking the romance and symbolism of Old World European sculpture. Standing an impressive 17 inches tall, this statue is solid, heavy, and cold to the touch, with the unmistakable presence of cast metal. When tapped, it produces a resonant metallic “clink,” consistent with solid brass or bronze rather than resin or composite. The surface displays a warm golden tone with subtle darker undertones, suggesting either aged brass or bronze—or brass finished in a traditional bronze-style patina, a common and respected technique used in high-quality decorative sculpture throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Stylistically, the piece aligns closely with French Art Nouveau–inspired figural sculpture, often associated with the Moreau school aesthetic—flowing forms, romantic mythology, and dramatic posture designed to be admired from every angle. While no visible maker’s mark or signature was found, the craftsmanship, weight, and sculptural detail place it firmly within the category of high-end vintage decorative art, not mass-produced décor. The base itself is sculpted rather than flat, reinforcing the celestial theme with carved stars and dimensional texture, giving the entire statue a sense of movement and narrative. Whether placed on a mantel, pedestal, console table, or within a curated art collection, this is a centerpiece object—bold, romantic, and timeless. This piece comes from an estate setting and shows natural surface wear and patina consistent with age, enhancing its character without compromising its visual impact. It is not a reproduction resin figure; it is a substantial, old-world style sculpture meant to last generations. Discovered by Treasures of Bako – Have we got a gem for you

Marked with the authentic Zanetti Murano foil label and the etched signature Vetri Murano VM, this sculpture represents not just craftsmanship, but legacy.

A moment suspended between adventure and devotion unfolds across the restless sea in Love Knots, the celebrated romantic illustration by American artist Clarence F. Underwood. Two figures lean forward together at the helm of a small motorboat, their gaze fixed on the horizon as emerald waves surge beneath them. Wind, water, and motion converge into a scene alive with energy—yet at its heart rests something quieter and more enduring: the shared thrill of the journey.

In this scene, the drama of the open water frames a deeply human moment—two companions bracing together against the spray, united in purpose and adventure. The composition carries a cinematic sense of movement, where the curve of the rising wave and the forward thrust of the boat pull the viewer directly into the unfolding moment. Beautifully presented within a refined wood frame and classic matting, the artwork brings warmth, nostalgia, and quiet narrative to any space. It evokes the spirit of coastal escapes, vintage travel, and timeless companionship—an image that invites the viewer to imagine the wind in the air, the salt on the waves, and the promise waiting just beyond the horizon.
