A Highly Carved Chinese Hardwood Stand
Carved from a dense Chinese hardwood, of square outline, the wooden top supported on an elaborate base carved throughout with geometric wave patterns, the corners with stylised elephants and the center of the skirting set with a Chinese dragon, the legs joined by an interlaces stretcher at the feet.
Chinese, 18th century
In their earliest form, incense stands were used by the Chinese to present offerings to the Buddha. With time, the incense stand was adapted to domestic settings, however unlike chairs or beds, it retained its spiritual implications. It was often used in formal occasions as well as to display flowers or antiques.
