Description:

"Not everything old has passed — some things remain in the silence of matter, waiting to be rediscovered."

Antique is a reliquary of shadows and memories.
The molded texture, meticulously applied, forms arabesques like remnants of an ancient tapestry hidden beneath layers of time. Subtle gold fused with deep blacks evokes the aged glow of something precious, silent, and enduring.

This piece doesn't command through color, but through the mystery of its surface. There is a ritualistic presence in it — as if each detail had been revealed rather than merely created. It is ancestral material reimagined through a contemporary soul.

Its tall, vertical form invites upward contemplation — like a door, a symbolic window, or a mirror to other times.
