Strung one bead at a time in West Africa, this Legend of Asia strand carries the deep red of natural coral across dozens of hand-cut pieces. Each bead is shaped, drilled and polished individually, so tone, diameter and finish vary along the strand, giving these african beads the irregular rhythm that moulded imitations never manage. The coral beads hang in a long, easy loop and coil neatly into a dish or bowl. Use the bead strand as bowl filler on a coffee table, drape the red beads over a stack of books, or loop them across a tray for instant tabletop decor. Indoor display is recommended to protect the cord. Layered with baskets, wood and brass, these decorative beads bring warmth and tribal decor texture to relaxed, collected home decor.

Flat discs of water buffalo bone stack face to face along this Legend of Asia strand, forming a ribbed pale column with real presence on a table. Each disc is cut, sanded, drilled and polished by hand in Nigeria, so diameter and thickness vary slightly and the finished bead strand has the uneven rhythm that identifies genuine african beads. The bone beads are left with a soft natural sheen rather than heavy lacquer, showing grain and gentle shifts from cream to warm ivory. Generously long, these disk beads coil into a bowl, double over a hook, or lie full length as shelf decor. Use the white beads as bowl filler on a coffee table or drape them across a tray. Indoor display is best. Warm, textural decorative beads for tribal decor and collected home decor.

Cut, drilled and strung by hand in Gambia, this Legend of Asia strand carries dozens of chalk-white discs with the softened, sun-bleached surface of true vintage beads. No two discs match: thickness, diameter and patina shift along the strand, and small chips are left in place as evidence that these african beads were made piece by piece rather than moulded. Generously long, the bead strand doubles over a hook, hangs beside a mirror, or coils comfortably into a wide bowl. Use the shell beads as bowl filler on a coffee table, drape the white beads across a tray, or layer them with baskets and linen for easy coastal decor. Indoor display protects the cord. Quietly textural decorative beads for tabletop decor and relaxed, collected home decor.

These vintage sea glass beads from Legend of Asia are made the slow way: discarded bottles are broken down, tumbled until the edges soften, and drilled by hand one piece at a time before being strung into a generously long strand. The result is recycled glass that reads as genuine beach glass, with the cloudy surface and pale aqua depth collectors look for. Because the work is hand made in West Africa, size and color vary gently along the strand, so no two runs of blue beads match. Coil the glass beads into a footed bowl as a bowl filler, drape them across a tray for casual table decor, or loop them over a lamp base. The soft, weathered finish of these decorative beads suits coastal decor, beach decor and layered neutral interiors alike.

These beads are beautiful, the sapphireindigo color is stunning! I did try unwrapping the rope to make it easier to use, but it seems as though it would unravel and ruin the bead strand. I have mine with another stand of sea glass beads in a grayishbrown color in a Cooper bowl. You won’t be disappointed, it’s a great product.. Renee. Marcellus, NY. Mon Jul 04 2022

This three piece figurine set from Legend of Asia portrays Qing dynasty emperors in full court dress, each modeled with its own stance, headdress and gesture so the trio composes as a scene. The tallest emperor figurine leads the group, with the others graduating below to create a stepped rhythm along a mantel, console or bookcase. Finished in a clean white glaze, the statue set keeps focus on robe folds, sleeve drape and posture. Every porcelain figurine is hand shaped and hand painted in the southern Chinese ceramic region, so faces and folds differ subtly between sets. A white figurine group like this reads as collectible figurine display in a study or gallery wall grouping, and it works as shelf decor within chinoiserie decor or traditional asian decor rooms.

Good weight and craftsmanship. Exceeded my expectations.. Jacob. Mon Dec 18 2023

The seated guardian dog has watched over Chinese doorways for centuries, and Legend of Asia keeps the traditional posture intact: haunches down, chest lifted, mane curled in rows across the shoulders. Finished in a clean white glaze rather than color, this porcelain figurine lets the carving do the work, so every ripple of the guardian lion silhouette stays sharp. Each piece is hand shaped and hand painted in southern China, so faces and stances vary slightly. A single white figurine anchors a bookshelf, while a facing pair is the classic feng shui placement and traditional entry decor. The neutral glaze moves easily between chinoiserie decor, modern rooms and traditional asian decor, and this foo dog is durable enough to serve as shelf decor anywhere in the home.

A little pricey, but definitely what I've been looking for!. Stephanie. Dimondale, MI. Sat Mar 06 2021

Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong ruled in succession through the height of the Qing dynasty, and Legend of Asia seats all three in this three piece figurine set, each emperor statue robed for court with its own posture, headdress, and expression. Every porcelain figurine is hand shaped in the southern Chinese town where porcelain was invented, then hand painted with a fine brush before a high firing sets the blue porcelain glaze hard and glossy. Grouped on a bookcase they make composed shelf decor; spaced along a mantel decor ledge they carry a whole wall. Minor variation in shape and finish is expected and part of the character of a handmade collectible figurine, and the trio makes a striking gift for anyone drawn to chinoiserie decor and asian decor.

These are so cool. Taller than I had imagined but perfect accent. Look great in a row or in a V formation.. George. New York, NY. Sat Jun 13 2020

Dark swirls drawn by hand across pale discs give this Legend of Asia strand its graphic energy. The batik beads are dyed one at a time using a traditional resist technique, so line weight, spacing and depth of colour shift from bead to bead and no two strands repeat. Cut, sanded and drilled by hand, the bone beads are knotted onto a generous length of cord that loops twice around a bowl rim or hangs from a cabinet knob. Use the bead strand as bowl filler on a coffee table, coil the white beads into a footed dish, or drape them over a stack of books. Indoor display is recommended. Pattern-rich african beads that bring tribal decor texture to tabletop decor and add a handmade note to collected home decor as sculptural decorative beads.

The necklace wasn't in equilibrium or balance. It hung as though it were simply a strand of imperfect, lopsided beads on a rope. I wasn't impressed at all! I am still thinking about returning it.. Mary. Fort Wayne, IN. Thu Jul 03 2025
