Sun Motif Mirror Frames & Medallions
[Note: If you’re already registered, please click here to logon before going any further. If not, registration, is quick, free, safe & easy — please click here to register now.]
Reminder: We currently offer over 400 Different Models of Mirror Frames in Our Catalogue…
The Main Mirror Frame Category… warning: patience required.
318 models in this collection alone; it is a slog to get through the entire catalogue without losing your patience, energy, optimism or sense of humor.
Yet, it’s worth it. From the old-style sun & moon phase models, through finely carved Hindu & Buddhist motifs to simple, modern styles. It’s all here.
Recycled Teak Furniture… given the world’s current trend toward environmental concerns, this is absolutely a product line that bears close attention.
When we say, "recycled", we’re not kidding: our crafters visit certain islands in Indonesia where houses are typically made of wood and either buy the old houses or construct new houses (made of wood) and then swap for the old timber.
Bamboo Products…
a few examples of pretty,
woven bamboo covered
frames — circular and square styles.
Crazy Painted Carvings…
yes, either someone has
suffered a breakdown in a
paint factory or a serious
accident — fun stuff.
Painted Metal Sculptures…
pastel finished wrought and cut sheet iron; schools of fish, tropical plants and flowers… lovely stuff.
Wooden Art - Mirrors…
lightly carved pieces incorporating bright, primitive scenes painted directly onto the wood.
Bali Wood Mirror Frames…
focus more on natural wood finishes with motifs that incorporate local objects and patterns like bamboo and so on.
Natural Material Mirror Frames…
coffee root, banana leaf, pandan leaf, twists of bark and lamtoro — exotic, clever & eco-friendly.
East West Style Mirror Frames…
many nautical and country kitchen style mirror frames — a more cute, contemporary approach than pure "Asian".
Teak Furniture - Mirror Frames…
classic, antique-repro style mirrors built into cabinets or as dressing tables.

Bali does a lot of Albesia Wood Products — it’s a very useful type of wood: cheap, easily available; quite similar to balsa wood (which some will remember fondly as the main building material for model planes). You can find out more about the different woods we use by clicking here.
The models in this updated category are fairly standard for Bali — masks, owls and so on. That said, they’ve been brought up to date with some very rich paint finishes (acrylic only, no lead in the paint) and some gold trimming. Nice. See the whole range by clicking here:

You’ll find more Primitive Carvings in the following categories:

Hibiscus Tree Sprites are faces, figures and shapes cut and carved directly into Hibiscus roots. The carver has no plan before starting — each root is taken individually, the carvings follow the lines of the original wood.
Once the carving is finished, the stumps are given time to dry outdoors (all air or sun drying; no kiln-time for these wooden items). Finally, they’re sanded, polished and wax finished.
Hibiscus root (like Teak root & Suar root) is dense, strong and very durable.

And, if you like the sprites, you’ll probably also want to take another look at:
Abstract Carvings… suar and
pine wood
sculptures, natural
and ink
finishes.
Classic Bali Animal Carvings,
Buddha Carvings,
Traditional Balinese & Hindu Carvings…
our carvers trace their skills
back through generations.
Heart Wood Carving…
similar to Hibiscus Stumps
but generally smaller (less
expensive) pieces in a wider
variety of wood types.
Crocodile Wood Carvings…
intricate, highly detailed small carvings
in a pale, highly polished
wood — looks a lot like
bone or horn.
Parasite Wood Carvings… pine roots, buried in the soil where they’re
attacked by parasites and damp until they’re all twisted and distorted — dug
up and carved into impressive displays.
A large range of natural sea and amphibians
are probably my favorites in the series.

Here’s a line of strange, fun & eyecatching products: Bamboo Root.
A collection of grotesque masks, windchimes, small pots — even keyfobs — all made from the root of bamboo.
No rhyme or reason to these products, the carver pulls the root and let’s his imagination do the rest of the work.
End result: a pretty neat line of one-off products:

Just for the hell of it: my favourite piece is the Ketongan (BRT-012) you see in the picture at the left.
A Kentongan is basically a noisemaker – anything that makes a big enough noise when struck to draw the attention of other villagers.
Traditionally, the night patrollers would use simple kentongan to alert villagers to danger (fire, theft, etc.). Often this would be a very simple instrument such as a length of bamboo struck with a wooden stick or a hollow wood log with a hole in the middle.
These days, you’re more likely to find Kentongan used in temples (in the same way a Buddhist temple will use gongs), the striking of the kentongan will announce a ceremony and invite villagers to gather.
Enough about Kentongan, enjoy the category and please don’t forget the many other bamboo products currently on offer in the catalogue:

I’d always thought Lombok was a small island but after just looking up the basic details on Wikipedia, I find it’s only a little smaller than Bali in terms of area and population. You learn something new every day.
The island is well known for its distinctive style of pottery, tabletop items (bowls, coasters and the like) & wooden masks — you can see all the jewelry boxes at:
Carved Wooden Jewelry Boxes
