An excellent and unusual example of an antique Tibetan painted table dating from the late 18th century. Tables like this were used by Llamas in their private quarters and are sometimes seen in thangkas. 

The raised gesso work is traditionally known as kyungbur. This style of gilt kyungbur is seen exclusively in Tsurpu monastery in Central Tibet, the traditional seat of the Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Similar examples can be found on pages 51 and 67 of Auspicious by Design by C. Corona. 

Our restoration team have painstakingly cleaned layers of old varnish to reveal the beautiful original gilt finish beneath whilst retaining its age and patina. Stylised double dorje (vajra) can be found across the cabinet representing spiritual strength, stability, and the two forms of truth, relative & absolute. 

Tibetan antique furniture is becoming increasingly rare. A yak butter lamp would be burnt regularly which is why so much Tibetan furniture is covered in a sticky residue.
