AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A highly decorative and distinctive Chinese side table or plant stand.
The legs are masterfully carved in the form of powerful dragon bodies, ending in claw feet holding a pearl (the classic Buddhist chintamani motif).
The apron beneath the tabletop features delicate openwork carving with cloud and floral motifs.
The round tabletop depicts a detailed traditional Chinese dragon cutting through the clouds, rendered in contrasting black, gold, and red lacquer.
The wooden cross-bracing below is also embellished with a carved dragon.
Condition:
In good, authentic condition with a beautiful aged patina.
None of the wood carvings are broken, and the lower structure is firmly joined with screw and mortise-and-tenon joints.
The tabletop shows clear, characteristic signs of age: the lacquer on the top has historically worn and crazed (see detail photos), adding to the antique appearance of the piece.
There is an old crack in the tabletop wood on the underside; it is stable and does not affect the sturdiness.
Dimensions:
Height: 62 cm.
Tabletop diameter: 33.5 cm.
Foot width: 32 cm.
Weight: 3.8 kg.
The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by registered and insured delivery with Track & Trace.
Collection can also be arranged by agreement.
