About

Ancient Gilded Royal Parasol

Once placed atop temples or royal shrines, this three-tiered ceremonial parasol (chatra) carries centuries of meaning. In Buddhist and royal traditions, each tier represents a higher realm of the heavens, offering both sacred protection and a mark of prestige. Crafted in cast metal and finished with luminous gold leaf over a red lacquer base, its openwork tiers and delicate finials reflect the artistry of devotion. Time has softened its surface, leaving behind a rich patina that speaks to its journey through history.

Today, this storied piece finds new life as a striking decorative accent for the home—an ornament that brings both cultural depth and timeless beauty into modern interiors.
