Black Lacquered Chinese Pedestal Stand with Marble Inset Top This tall pedestal stand presents a restrained yet decorative presence, combining a dark lacquered wooden structure with a circular marble inset top. The proportions and carved details suggest use as a display stand for porcelain, sculpture, or a potted plant, fitting both traditional and eclectic interiors. Manufacturer and origin: Chinese workshop, China Year of production: 20th century Style and function: Decorative pedestal stand for display purposes Materials: Carved wood with black lacquer finish; white marble inset top Dimensions: Height 96 cm, width 35 cm, depth 35 cm Condition: The stand is structurally stable. The carved apron and legs are intact, with visible hand-carved floral and foliate motifs. The lacquer shows light surface wear and small age-related marks consistent with use. The marble top is complete and well-fitted, with natural veining and no visible cracks. Overall condition is good, with preserved original finish and patina. Value rationale: The piece combines traditional Chinese carved woodworking with a marble inset, a combination commonly associated with display furniture rather than utilitarian seating. The height and slender proportions make it particularly suitable as a plant stand or accent pedestal, which increases versatility in interior use. The level of carving and the survival of the original lacquer and marble top support its collectability within the decorative furniture market. #artdeco #industrialstyle #vintage #antique #antiques #vintagedecor #homedecor #interiordesign #decor #vintagefinds #vintagestyle #antiquefurniture #retro #interior #idea #chinesefurniture #marbletop #woodcarving #plantstand
