Announcement
Welcome to StoneHouse Artifacts, Antiques from India and SE Asia. We travel far and wide to find beautiful treasures for you. Through our journeys we are able to offer a fine collection of antiques, artifacts and architectural furnishings. Many of these pieces are one of a kind items that are hand crafted from old growth woods in India and Burma. Stop by often, and please feel free to contact us with questions. We are here to help.
Our business combines our love for travel, history and meeting new people. Each year finds us in India and Asia seeking out collectibles and the unusual for our shop, every trip with its own adventures and stories. From missing trains and flights to lazy journeys in crowded boats up rivers to markets in towns with exotic far off names (my favorite). Throughout history travelers and merchants have been seeking out the East to bring back treasures to their own lands, and now we have found our place in this long tradition of trading with the world.
The pieces we sell all have a past history and though mostly unknown to us, still show the years of having been part of people’s lives adding that charm which new pieces can never have.
We hope you enjoy looking through our Etsy store and thank you for visiting our site – Kurt & Lydia Scherer

5 out of 5 starsOne I saw this Amber Mala I knew I really wanted it for my collection. And yes, I purchased it. I did find that many of of the amber beads were very dark, without a glow, but there were enough beads with a glow to overtook my disappoint. The best news...I love the mala...it's diffident use over time...color changes...nicks here and there...size and all! Thanks so much for a quality item! All expectations met. Carol

Thank you Carol. Each Mala is different, with varying colors. We are happy you are enjoying this one.

5 out of 5 starsSweet Tikka box with rotating lid to hold small rings, a few nose rings, and larger earrings if you measure your item against the size of the box. So far I've found many ways to use the box and many items to contain it. The description is right on, and has met all my expectations. I think it's a cool little piece if you're in to small, utilitarian, antiques.

Thank you Carol!

5 out of 5 starsIs there anything more beautiful and grounding than the sight o Nandi in front of a Shiva temple? I feel so blessed to bring a bit of the feeling home through this bronze Nandi. Thanks so much Stonehouseartifacts!
