Pair of Antique Chinese Wood Stands Pedestal Tables

Offered by: Tishu

Description
A pair of tall Chinese pedestal stands circa 19th century the late Qing dynasty. These types of stands were traditionally used to display vases or planters in the hall of the residence of wealthy Chinese. The pair of stands was made from hardwood of nice grains, most likely Mohagany. Tall square form with exposed tenon joints, carved fretwork apron under an inverted neckline and slightly hoofed feet. The presence of these table exudes a regal sense in their impressive height and proportion, clearly made for a large space, such as a formal receiving hall. The top surface features subtle upturned perimeter, a small detail to prevent the displayed piece from sliding off the top.
The pair of tables were purchased in 1988 from a gallery in New York City. A copy of original invoice is available to the buyer.
