Volcanic Stone Natural Mountainscape with Marble Tray

Transform your home or office into something unique with the creation of miniature mountain and river landscape scenes. Experience the beauty of Landscape Penjing, an art form which dates back over a thousand years and which means "landscape in a tray", as individual artists capture the essence and spirit of nature by the grouping, placing and carving of natural and rare stones not found in the US. Mined from mountains, hot springs, riverbeds and caves, these unique stones vary in size, texture and color. Our one-of-a-kind Mountainscapes can be used as a dramatic focal point or lovely accent piece, bringing the sound of soothing running water into any room. This artistic stimulation and capture of mountain and river landscapes in miniature form is of the highest quality in Penjing Art. "Bean Stone", which were highly sought after during the days of the Ming Dynasty, and which are a naturally formed composite of rare pebbles and stone is used in the creation of many of our Mountainscapes. The larger the stone, the more rare and sought after it becomes. All of our Masterpiece Mountainscapes are hand carved to ensure no damage to the stone and as a result, it can take several weeks to carve out just the base. The hand selection and the positioning of the compostion stones will follow to create the perfect Mountainscape setting. In addition to being displayed in homes, don't be surprised to find our masterpieces on exhibit in museums, restaurants, atriums and corporate lobbies.
