Antique Wooden Gong Table Carved Hands - Gold and Silver Leaves - Early Xxth

About the Item

Antique wooden table, gong, hand-carved frame, fully restored by our workshops and covered with gold and silver leaves. Carved in hardwood, two immortals covered with 24-carat gold and silver leaves stand proudly on a wooden base carved with peony flowers. In Buddhism, it is synonymous with sweetness, for wherever the young Buddha set foot, peonies bloomed. They are holding a mallet in one hand and on the other, proudly supporting on their shoulders, a finely sculpted structure, featuring a sumptuous peacock in its centre, supporting a magnificent copper Gong. Period : Beginning of the 20th century Dimensions : Total height : 135cm x Length : 113cm x Width : 25cm Dimensions Statue 1 : Height : 116cm x width : 29,5cm Dimensions Statue 2 : Height : 113cm x width : 29,5cm Gong diameter : 54cm Dimensions Mailloches : Height : 50cm, width : 6cm  The peacock, sacred bird of India, symbol of beauty, fertility and immortality.  The peacock is a snake killer in India and is considered to be immune to snake bites. A whole symbolism is born behind it. The struggle of the peacock against the snake refers to the struggle of light against darkness. Held under the peacock's feet, the snake can no longer do harm and must submit. In addition to this, the Hindus also believed that the peacock's coat came directly from the venom of the snakes, which, instead of killing them, gave them these "magical" colours, again symbolising the channelling of evil into something flamboyant. This piece is unique.
