A commanding trio of standing Thai/Burmese-style monks, each figure hand-carved from a single piece of solid wood and finished in traditional gilt lacquer. This monumental set consists of three graduated figures (35", 33", and 31" high) and is unified by a substantial, sculptural scroll-end base (38" L x 9.5" D x 7.25" H). Tallest height with Monks on stand is 42.25". The monks are depicted in a serene pose, holding alms bowls in a devotional style inspired by temple sculpture. Perfect for a curated entry hall, library, or any space requiring a powerful and serene decorative statement in your home.
JUNE'S THOUGHTS
Let’s be honest — most décor doesn’t make people stop walking. This does. There’s a calm grandeur in the scale and the gilded robes that gives a room instant presence. Calm, sculptural, quietly luxurious. And yes — this is absolutely one of those “you won’t see this in anyone else’s home” moments. Sets like this don’t just decorate; they make your home feel curated, traveled, and a touch mysterious.
THE PRINCIPALS PERSPECTIVE
This set represents a compelling cultural investment within the decorative arts. Unlike mass-produced décor, value here is driven by craftsmanship, scale, and traditional three-figure formation with original stand, making it a rare, statement-level ensemble for collectors of Southeast Asian design. As a distinctive grouping unlikely to be replicated, it stands as an investment in culturally rooted, high-quality décor.
