Pair of Celestial Cloud Stone Columns
About the Item
Shaped from solid limestone, these impressive garden pedestals are carved on all sides with a low relief pattern of swirling clouds. The whorl of soft spirals and gentle curves drifts across the sides with tranquil motion, like plumes of smoldering incense or the celestial dais of a Buddhist or Taoist deity. A harbinger of rain and abundance, clouds are an ancient decorative motif in Chinese art and a visual pun for compassion and good fortune.

Chinese Kang Table Column Base, c. 1900
