Product Info

Description: Historically on the island of Java in Indonesia, wealthy and prominent families constructed their homes out of teak wood for longevity, beauty and strength. It was a symbol of wealth to have carvings throughout the interior and exterior of the home. - These carvings were created to organically flow as an integral part of the design of the home and the permanent structure of the building. Carvings were displayed and the more complicated the carving, the wealthier the family. - It is very rare to find any traditional style wooden houses currently being constructed on Java due to the cost. Thus, any pieces or sections of antique wooden house carving are highly sought after and are highly collectable, fetching extremely high prices per piece and per section.
