About the Item
An exceptional, magnificent and rare Chinese circular display stand in wonderful condition. Likely made in the second half of the 20th Century or possibly earlier, this show-stopping piece will add quintessential ornate-yet-minimalist Oriental design, stunning quality, gorgeous colouring and an exquisitely elegant aesthetic of Eastern splendour to any setting.
Master-crafted from fabulous quality and beautifully grained Chinese Jumu or Southern Elm wood displaying gorgeous rich tones ranging from ruddy, nutty brown to golden, this stunning statement piece invokes the timeless, zen-like qualities of excellence, beauty and harmony. Outstandingly and traditionally crafted without screws or nails, it has seamless joins throughout and its simplicity belies the monumental, precision effort which would have been involved in its crafting to such perfection.
Likely originally purposed as a shrine and to display heirlooms, this versatile and jaw-dropping piece makes a great display cabinet, bookcase or even a room divider, having fine carvings to both sides of the drawers, which can be opened to either side.
Especially rare for being so large and being a single-piece example, most similar pieces are more modern, smaller and made of two ‘half-moons’. The stunning quality of the wood also makes this an extremely rare and fine example – indeed, the rich colouring and stunning grain patterning of the Jumu wood invokes the highly sought after and eye-wateringly expensive Huanghuali wood. No need for paint, lacquer or ornamentation – the fabulous stripped-back geometric design, outstanding craftsmanship and stunning wood speak for themselves!
All in all this is a quite breathtaking piece, which will add magnificence, captivation and refined beauty to any interior, and wouldn’t look out of place in the grandest of spaces.
CONDITION
This is in very-good-to-excellent condition. Beautifully crafted, reassuringly heavy and structurally sound, it was imported to the UK from mainland China in the 1980s, where it was previously purchased at an antiques shop, and has been much loved and well looked after, having only hard-to-notice and to-be-expected signs of its age, including light scratches to some of the (mostly upper, hard-to-see) shelves and very minor hard-to-notice bumps to the frame. Overall it's a jaw-dropping, very rare and exceedingly fascinating piece in wonderful vintage/antique condition and if well looked after it should be just as fabulous for many generations to come – please see the photos.

Fine Antique Carved Cabinet Chest of Drawers Chinese Altar Temple Commode 18th C
Located in London, GB
An exceptional, stunning and extremely rare Chinese carved chest of drawers in wonderful antique condition. Most likely made in Northern China in the late-18th/early-19th Century, this superbly decorative and versatile eight-drawer cabinet will add knockout wow-factor as well as gorgeous colouring, superb quality and bygone Oriental splendour to any interior.
A great size for a versatile piece, whether it's used as a hallway console cabinet, a decorative living room storage piece, a dining buffet or a bedroom chest of drawers, this exceptional and historically significant commode will impress in any setting.
It's strong Mongolian and Qing Dynasty influences point to this stunning piece being made in Shanxi Province in Northern China. Traditionally crafted from reassuringly heavy, solid and wonderfully hued Elm & Cypress woods, displaying beautiful nutty-golden hues and wonderfully aged patination, this knockout chest of drawers has extremely rare and showstopping raised-relief carvings to the eight drawers.
This staggering chest of drawers would have originally had the dual-purpose uses of household/temple storage as well as its top being used as an altar for daily worship rituals. It would have been painted and there are traces of vibrant red paint still visible to the carved fronts of the drawers, with crimson lacquer still on display to the sides.
It features a fabulously hefty, mottled-lacquered top with inlaid centre above panelled sides and back. Supported by substantial legs, it has decorative lower and side aprons and eight outstanding, chunky and ornately carved drawers, each carving with its own significance, and aged brass handles with petal mounts.
It's very rare for an antique Chinese chest...
