DECORATIVE ARTS
As a general rule we don't offer handicrafts or interior-designer/decorator objects but sometimes the line between art and craft blurs…..

Joshua's Candelabrum

Floral Candelabrum . JOSHUA PURNOMO
Iron, h. 84cm
, w.142cm. £600.00

This exuberant but practical ironwork candelabrum doesn't quite fit into our sculpture
pages. But as a unique and fabulously extravagant piece of creative metalwork we offer the piece here anyway!

TRADITIONAL EAST INDIES TEXTILE-WEAVING

When is an indigenous craft not an indigenous art…?

We have a small but well-formed selection of outstanding hand-loomed textiles (ceremonial wraps, wedding sarongs etc) perfectly suited for wall hanging. The muted hues of native natural dyes produce a striking effect alongside the bright and gay vigour of Hanging Fruits'contemporary paintings.

Mostly from the islands east of Bali, our textile collection excludes standard tourist fare…..woven with cotton fibres and almost exclusively using natural dyes, each Hanging Fruits piece demonstrates why hand-woven Indonesian textiles are valued by international collectors.

SOLD AS SEEN: We believe the textiles offered here are in good to excellent condition for handmade items using traditional weaving methods. However, bearing in mind the age (20-50 years) and tropical provenance of each piece, we strongly suggest collectors do not purchase without first enjoying a personal visit and inspection.
