Wooden Decorative Fish
Carved in Africa for use in harvest celebrations and storytelling rituals, and commonly found in the Ivory Coast region, this wooden fish was originally made to be carried or animated in procession. Its bright painted surface, hollowed body and bold features are inspired by ceremonial puppets connected with the water spirit Faro.
As an objet in a modern interior, it delivers colour, whimsy, and that collected over time feeling that makes a house feel like a home.

The makers
Sourced by PHINA
Every year, we set off in search of the unexpected: hidden gems, antiques, curious objet, original art, and furniture with a story to tell.
Our approach is slow, considered and instinctive. We source responsibly, choosing pieces for their craftsmanship, quality and ability to make you look twice. We like to meet the makers and sellers along the way, getting to know the people, provenance and stories behind our finds.
The pieces that return from our trip with us often show signs of a life well lived. It is this patina, shaped by time and use, that gives each piece its character.
