The latter part of the
19th century saw many levels of quality in Chinese
export goods coming to America…not all are of
great quality. In fact, most aren't, as the focus
was to a mass-consuming audience. This pair is of
the best rank. Please take a moment and view the quality
of the carving at each close-up focal point. It doesn't
get any better. Also, this pair has a very unusual
shaped top with marble insert. The marble here is
in perfect condition. It is difficult to find singles
of this quality, and as a pair, they are absolutely
special. Decoratively, they give an outstanding presence.
These stands are in perfect condition with no repairs
or alterations.
