This late 19th-century Chinese import lantern stand is a Victorian period piece designed in the Chinese export style. It is made from dark brown hardwood, bamboo, and paper with a dark polished finish. The stand takes the form of a carved dragon motif with an upturned head that holds a suspended, ribbed bamboo and paper cage lantern. Openwork spandrels decorate the lower post above a turned circular base supported by cabriole feet. The electrical conversion includes authentic corded flex and a switch, and the piece has been PAT tested. The measurements are 72 cm high, 41 cm wide, and 23 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this table lamp functions well on a sideboard top in a gentleman's library or a study. The warm yellow paper shade and intricate timber carving provide accent lighting while serving as a decorative sculptural element. Placing the lantern stand in a quiet corner or on a low cabinet highlights the detailed woodwork and the traditional form of the dragon support.

FAQs

Produced primarily during the late Qing dynasty for Western export markets, these stands feature traditional Chinese woodcarving motifs adaptively styled to hold suspended paper or bamboo lanterns.

These items were crafted from dense tropical hardwoods, often featuring hand-carved details, paired with bamboo framing and painted paper or silk shades for light diffusion.

Authentic late 19th-century examples exhibit traditional mortise and tenon joinery, natural timber patination, hand-painted shade details, and iconography such as carved dragons or cloud motifs.

Positioning the stand on a dark wood console table, sideboard, or desk creates a sculptural focal point that bridges oriental antique art with contemporary interior design schemes.

Dust the woodwork regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the timber, while keeping delicate paper or bamboo shades away from moisture and direct sunlight.
