The Set

Monkey pod wood was widely favored for serving pieces due to its durability, warmth, and dramatic natural grain.
Each bowl is individually carved, resulting in organic forms and subtle variations that highlight the character of the wood.

Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
