This small but soulful set pairs a hand-carved Confucius figure in warm exotic hardwood with a richly ornamented gilt oval mirror, the two playing off each other beautifully. The sage rests in robes that fall in confident, fluid folds, his weathered face full of patience and good humour, while the gilded frame throws back his reflection in a flourish of carved scrollwork. As the master himself put it, \"The wise man seeks what is within himself, the fool what is outside.\" Charming enough to win over a sceptic, scholarly enough to keep one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a piece for the curated shelf, the writing desk, or the quiet corner that needs a touch of the Orient.
