About the Item
Pair of early 20th century Chinese mother-of-pearl inlaid wooden stands
Chinese, c. 1900
Height 54cm, width 53.5cm, depth 53.5cm
Crafted in China around the turn of the 20th century, this refined pair of stands embodies the elegance and symbolism often found in traditional Chinese furniture design. Rich in decorative detail, these pieces are both functional and visually captivating.
The square tops are intentionally unadorned, drawing the eye to the ornate apron below. Here, fine mother-of-pearl inlay is arranged in a pierced, openwork design featuring stylised flora and geometric motifs commonly associated with Chinese artistic heritage. Among the inlaid patterns is the iconic ‘Shou’ emblem, which conveys wishes for longevity, success, and prosperity in Chinese culture.
Flowing floral vines gracefully embellish the legs and frieze, unifying the design from top to bottom. A secondary tier, or shelf, adds both balance and utility, ideal for displaying objects or storing smaller items.
Each pedestal is supported by four carved legs that end in the distinctive ball-and-claw feet. This symbolic motif is steeped in Chinese mythology, with the claw (often linked to the Emperor or dragon) guarding the sacred sphere that represents purity and wisdom against evil.
Expertly executed with a harmonious blend of symbolism and craftsmanship, this impressive pair of stands makes an outstanding decorative addition to traditional and modern interiors alike.
