About the Item

Created during the 19th century, this antique wooden incense stand embodies the elegance and refinement of traditional craftsmanship. The square waisted top is supported by a richly carved apron, its pierced scrollwork adding movement and decorative appeal. The design transitions gracefully into four cabriole legs, which curve outward with sculptural presence before resting on ball feet. These are set upon a continuous stretcher base, giving the piece both structural integrity and a sense of balance. Originally conceived as a pedestal for incense, the stand speaks to the artistry and ritual importance of such furnishings in Chinese interiors. Its compact size and finely executed details reveal the maker’s careful attention to proportion and ornament. While historically associated with spiritual or ceremonial use, the stand today can serve multiple purposes within the home. Whether displayed as a pedestal for sculpture, a base for a floral arrangement, or an accent side table, it offers versatility while retaining its original character. With its warm patina, flowing lines, and timeless decorative sensibility, this 19th-century Chinese incense stand adds a note of distinction to both traditional and modern interiors.
