This antique Chinese wooden carved pedestal stand with attached mirror dates is from the late Qing dynasty. This piece of furniture would have sat on a dresser or chest. The carving is high relief and begins at the base. The mid section carving displays a dragon and pagoda. The frame of the circular mirror has bats carved all around.
This piece has been held in storage by a Texas collector and is in excellent condition. The mirror is detachable and is held in place by tendons which slip into slits in the upper section of the base. The entire piece stands 28 inches high and is almost 12 inches at the widest point, the base of the stand is 7 inches deep.
Pieces such as this were often used and prized as wedding gifts throughout China during the Qig Dynasty.
