The Baroque Series vegetable-tanned cowhide hand-carved desktop three-piece set reconstructs daily utensils with dramatic artistic tension, turning the desktop into a micro-theater of classical aesthetics.
Style and Rhythm
Inheriting the complex tension of Baroque, it creates a visual symphony with flowing curves, plump reliefs, and symmetrical scroll patterns. The wavy edges of the ashtray leather cover, the carved patterns on the cup leather, and the reliefs on the tissue leather box echo each other, each showing its own posture while maintaining unity.
Material and Craftsmanship
The 1.2mm vegetable-tanned cowhide presents a honey color, which turns into amber over time. Hand-carved reliefs of intertwined flowers and vortex patterns are made with chiseling techniques; the depth of the knife marks forms three-dimensional light and shadow. The edges are sealed with oil, forming a delicate contrast with the rough carved patterns.
Ingenuity in Individual Pieces
Ashtray leather cover: Lined with fireproof material inside, the carved patterns stretch along the curvature of the ashtray, preventing ash from scattering and becoming the focus of the desktop.
Cup leather carving: The 弧形皮套 leaves space for holding, with half-wrapped carved decorations, providing heat insulation and adding a sense of ritual.
Tissue leather box: It adopts an open-top design; the large-area carvings and rounded corners balance grandeur and practicality.
Combined, they form a narrative picture scroll; used individually, each is a unique scene. Every daily action becomes an opportunity to touch Baroque art.
