Pair of Chinese Qing Dynasty Carved Limestone Pedestals

About the Item

A pair of Chinese carved limestone architectural drum form pedestals, Qing Dynasty, mid 19th century, China. Masterfully carved, each pedestal is in two pieces. The top in the form a drum carved with "nails" surrounding the top, with relief carvings to the sides of opposing qilin, taotie masks, and scrolling foliage. The separately carved drums are supported by a lotus pedestal and surrounded by Buddhistic lions, all resting upon a high waisted table sheltering a heavenly horse. Originally used as garden elements, most likely to support large wooden columns for a gate or gable. The flanges on either side of each pedestal indicates they were part of a larger stair or railing system. Today they would make gorgeous pedestals for a dining room table, or as side tables. Suitable for both indoor our outdoor use. Provenance: Heritage Museum, Chicago.
