A Very Good Quality And Extremely Attractive Pair Of Late 19th Century Oriental Hardwood Pot Stands, Or Lamp Tables, Having Attractive Rouge Marble Inset Tops, Over Lovely Foliate Carved And Pierced Friezes, With Two Further Panelled Tiers To Turned Legs, Terminating On Carved Claw And Ball Feet.
It is pretty common to find tables of this design in varying shapes and sizes, produced sometime around the mid 19th century in China, specifically for shipping to the western markets, but it is very rare to find pairs as nice as these particular ones, especially of this tall variety.
They are the absolute perfect size and form to be used as lamp tables or alternatively for their original purpose of standing pots and porcelain on. You could also of course use them as plinths for sculpture, clocks, or anything else similar.
The tables are constructed from dense, hard wearing oriental hardwood, which in combination with the marble tops, ensures that the tables are unlikely to be easily damaged.
The overall condition is good, with no structural issues in terms of the woodwork and the tightness of joints, so they are very much ready for immediate use.
As with all items which we offer for sale they have also received a natural wax polish by our restorers in our workshops.
