New Item!
Vintage coffee table UpCycled. Shabby Chic antiqued paint design with light green with a very light blue under coat. Original artwork inspired by the "Aloha `Oe" poster noting the composition of then, Princess Lili'iuokalani's, famous song written and composed in 1877.
"Aloha ʻOe" (Farewell to Thee) is Liliʻuokalani's most famous song and a common cultural Leitmotif for Hawaii. The song was inspired by a horseback trip she took in 1877 to the windward side of Oʻahu. After visiting the Boyd ranch in Maunawili, Liliʻuokalani witnessed a farewell embrace between Colonel James Harbottle Boyd and one of the young ranch ladies.
This tender farewell set Lili`uokalani to thinking, and she began humming to herself on the homeward trip. Overhearing, Charles Wilson observed, "That sounds like The Lone Rock by the Sea," a comment with which Lili`uokalani is said to have agreed. When the party paused to rest in an orange grove on the Honolulu side of the Pali, the others joined in the hummings, and the song was completed later at Washington Place.
The top of the table displays the Queen's emblem and personal motto of "Onipa`a" which means to "Stand Firm" or to be "steadfast". She was Hawaii's last Queen and is very dear to the history and people of Hawaii Nei.
The sides depict the text on the rest of the poster. It's an unique and fashionable piece, sure to be a conversational piece in your home.
A light satin finish should help to protect the look of this piece of art for years to come. Check out the unique furniture details on the side legs! Fun! I love great craftsmanship.
Price: $235
