<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 975417, member: 2844&quot;]Lovely table, J.</p><p>The seller in the Catawiki listing is Dutch, which means he should know better. This is a classic carved teak table from the town of Jepara, on the north coast of Java, Indonesia. Most of these were made during the late colonial days, in the first half of the 20th century.</p><p>During that time Jepara carvers were supported by a special government program to boost local crafts, and there was much demand from both colonials and the Dutch furniture market.</p><p>The price is very good, jump in that car!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The double-headed Javanese peacock is a tribute to the old royal status of Jepara. Both heads wear Javanese crowns with winged &#039;sumping&#039;, ear ornaments. Winged sumping mean that the ruler should listen to his or her people.</p><p>The legs are Nagas, Javanese dragons/snakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
