Thai Bronze Rain Drums

Thai Artisan Bronze Rain Drums
I have always admired bronze rain drums, but now am hopelessly smitten!


Handmade in Thailand using centuries old "lost wax"casting methods, our Bronze Rain Drums have acoustic & aesthetic beauty. Traditionally associated with wealth & power and rain, they were said to turn monsoon rain to music, and are highly valued today.

Adorned with frogs to represent water and rain.



Create your own unique furniture, by simply adding a glass top you have a multi purpose side table, stool, or even a plant stand.
Rain Drums look perfect in any garden setting, the bronze metal will eventually have a patina with age, giving then even more more character.

Twisted Carved Stool

Twisted stool

Natural art for your home

Our twisted carved stool soon becomes indispensible. I have two at home, and use as bedside tables, my friends have one as a plant stand, other friends use as stools, or little side table next to the sofa

It is hard to believe that these wonderful pieces of furniture are created by skilled artisan carvers, hand working with chisels, from a single piece of substainable monkey-pod wood.

The pieces are sanded and lovingly waxed by family members in the villages in the North of Thailand where the craftsmen live and work

Our stools are are nice & sturdy, but still portable enough to move around at home, they certainly add character & style to any room.
