What is provenance?
Provenance describes the origin of a given piece, and it includes the age and country of origin. A piece with a known provenance is far more valuable than a piece without – especially since the latter could be counterfeit.
What is Asian statuary like?
Asian statuary is very often carved out of black stone, but it can also be carved from wood, white marble, or other materials. A few have been painted. Many of the pieces can be used indoors or outdoors. Most of the statues depict the Buddha, while others depict monks or ancient warriors.
There are a few statues of animals, and they can be symbolic. The elephant, for example, represents tremendous power and strength in many Asian cultures.
Regarding tables
Tables form the largest category, and they include desks and nightstands. They include a mix of antique and contemporary designs. Interestingly, some of the modern tables are based on the Greek key design or meander, a repeating geometric motif often seen in Greek and Roman art. Some Asian artists crafted tables that look like a single meander. Such tables can be used for entertainment centers.
Another modern design is the X table, in which the legs cross each other and form the letter X.
Asian Accents of Palm Beach also sells drum tables, which look like big drums complete with a leather top. They can be used as coffee tables or night stands.
