japanese drum on stand

Circa 1920, Japanese lacquered drum. The very elaborate stand with its fan shaped top has painted mythical dragons on both sides, which occur throughout the whole stand. On the upright which supports it and the one below it there are 4 dragon heads, 2 on each side, which are painted in red. The drum itself is in a timber frame which is covered in skin on both sides. The skin or velum is held in place by multiple brass studding and there is elaborate painting on both sides of the drum. The uprights have stylish quarter block at the bottom and there is a trestle foot on each side which is solid and painted all round. There are 2 wooden sticks which have been painted and decorated for beating the drum. The whole piece is free standing, stylish and unusual.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
