Late 19th Century Japanese Zitan Wood Carved Stand in the Form of a Table

About the Item

An Zitan wood low table / stand. Late 19th century Japanese Meiji Period. Zitan is an extremely dense wood which sinks in water. It is a member of the rosewood family. The wood is blackish-purple to blackish-red in color, and its fibers are laden with deep red pigments. The fine texture of the wood grain is especially suitable for intricate carving. Early records indicate that zitan was sourced in tropical forests of Indochina and from Hainan Island. The tree grows quite slowly. Few pieces are known to be greater than one foot in width.
