Antique Chinese Pedestal Desk with Inlaid Marble; circa 1850 'Late Qing Dynasty'

About the Item
Antique Chinese pedestal desk with inlaid marble top.
Era: Late Qing Dynasty
Circa: 1850’s
Material: blackwood & marble
Origin: Guangzhou area
Dimension : W 159.5 x D 65 x H 85 cm W 62.8" x D 25.59" x H33.46" in
The desk is constructed by two pedestals, each containing two drawers, which support a removable top with three drawers, creating 7 drawers in total. Each pedestal has a lattice-work base.
The desk is in unrestored original condition. One drawer handle is missing.
The top is formed by three slates of marble inlaid in wooden frame. These dream-stone-type inlays were favored by Chinese scholars who collected these for their meditative effect: they’d be swayed by the mesmerizing pattern reminiscent of a flowing river, passing clouds or arduous mountains.
The desk is in unrestored original condition.
