Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art Object Details

Carved hardwood stand China, Qing Dynasty, 18th century

SOLD

Carved as lotus leaves and flowers.

Dimensions

22cm wide, 6cm high, 17cm deep

Condition

There are some chips and losses. It is a dark heavy wood with a rich lustre. We have tested it in water and it sinks to the bottom unlike ordinary rosewood which floats.

Note

It would have originally been carved as a stand for a large piece of jade, probably from the reign of the Qianlong Emperor.
