Bargain liquidation, below wholesale. We have closed one of our Artifacts’ retail locations and will sell these bars in sets of 4, 10 or 20’s (or more upon request) below our cost, to clear the warehouse and make more room as our store is now packed to the ceilings. These elegant hand carved (with a finial at each end) bars, rods, textile displays hangers, whatever you wish to call them, used to display a rare and fine textile on the wall, a collector cloth, a quilt, a kimono, a obi, an Ikat, a rug, a tapestry, a needlepoint etc…. (as we have all sizes in these bars). Japanese museums among other places buy our bars for their kimonos and obis.
We also have used them as refined architectural accents on top or around doors and windows, mirrors, frames etc… inside and outside. They can be painted to match any décor. Email us at cheetahdmr@aol.com if you want to see pictures of different uses. The rods enhance greatly and eclectically the textiles that are hung from them.
We only show one of the finials on some photos so that the carving can be better seen. Each bar is unique & was sculpted by a master carver out of one piece of wood and makes a dramatic display for valuable textiles you wish to hang on the wall at an extremely reasonable price. The effect is quite stunning and covers a large area in a very decorative, economical and eclectic way. We have many different styles available, some of our wooden bars are also hand carved all along the top with intricate lacy motifs of foliage, some including animals and flowers too.
We have many sizes (15" to 78" long bars, 15 sizes available in all) but size does not always matter according to the effect you wish to produce: Textiles can be hung flat, gathered, folded and also on a much longer bar than their width which produces a somewhat Japanese decorative look (for example, a skinny runner can be hung on a much longer bar, it’s very elegant).
Everything we carry, all handcrafted and unique products, has been handpicked by us on the premises to insure the best quality possible.
