Late 19th Century Matched Pair of Freestanding Chinese Hardwood Pot Stands

19th century
Description

A late 19th century (circa 1890) well matched pair of freestanding Chinese hardwood pot stands of rectangular form.

These pot stands each consist of a rouge marble inset top surrounded with a hardwood banding, the frieze below with superb foliate and floral carved decoration of lotus flowers (a symbol of purity and devotion) and cherry blossom (a symbol of love and passion) terminating with carved scroll design, below the frieze a pierced and carved stylised bamboo design.

The stands are supported by shaped legs with two lower recessed shelves with moulded edge, terminating with claw feet.

Although these pot stands are not an exact pair they are extremely similar and Chinese furniture is rarely identical, they would be ideal for displaying large pots or used as occasional tables.

This pair of versatile pot stands are in very good condition for age, are of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Chinese hardwood pot stands originated during the Ming and Qing dynasties, primarily created to raise prized bonsai trees, potted orchids, or decorative porcelain off the floor to display them at eye level.

These stands were traditionally crafted from dense tropical hardwoods such as zitan, hongmu, or rosewood, often featuring inset marble or stone tops to protect the timber surface from water moisture.

Authentic pieces utilize traditional floating panel construction and mortise and tenon joinery without iron nails, alongside hand-carved openwork aprons and natural hand-rubbed wax or lacquer finishes.

Place them in pairs flanking a doorway, within empty corners, or alongside contemporary seating, using the tiers to hold ceramics, books, or indoor greenery to add architectural height.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, wipe the stone top with a damp cloth, and clear wax the timber periodically to protect the patina.
