About the Item

A 19th century Imperial Wash Stand of excellent quality and craftsmanship. From Zhejiang China dating about 1870, carved with wonderful details throughout that set this stand apart from others. Starting from the top, a double dragon detail is carved to make the rack placement for towels or clothes. Original mirror glass surrounded by the meander or Yunleiwin known as the cloud-and-thunder motif. Below a carved wood panel showcasing an Elder being served. This story board sits above a shelf with carved curtain top for holding toiletries such as soap. Most sensational is the table base itself. The table consists of a round scalloped sectional frame with beautifully carved Xiangyun auspicious clouds that adorn the surround. Supported on five cabriole legs with dragons feathered paw feet on stands. All joined using a double star strut upper and lower. When looking down from the top both stars are perfectly aligned one over the other. Having a brilliant patina of red lacquer and worn gilding with wood coming through the time endured finish. This is a masters work and created for a very special individual to have such attention to details, aesthetically and throughout it's construction. A wonderful antique furniture piece that can be used as a wash stand, plant stand, fish bowl stand, clothes stand or decoratively and also a noted collectable antique. A basin metal bowl with two handles pictured will come with the stand. This metal bowl is not original to this stand.
