A HUANGHUALI MUSICAL INSTRUMENT STAND
LATE MING DYNASTY
This stand is of folding construction and comprises two identical parts. Each part has a rounded top rail which begins and ends in flattened round knobs, engraved with a curl to accentuate the turn of the ends. The two legs are mortised, tenoned and lapped to the top rail and the base feet stretcher. There are inlaid ruyi-head huangtong mounts where they meet. Near the upper and the lower ends are two horizontal stretchers. The two identical parts are joined by metal rods passing through openings in the middle of their legs, serving as hinges and cushioned with round huangtong plates on both ends. Metal rings cushioned with plates are fitted to the higher level horizontal stretchers to allow a detachable metal rod ending with a hook on each end to constrain the stand to an appropriate height.
35 7/16 in. (90 cm.) wide, 12 13/16 in. (32.5 cm.) deep, 31 7/8 in. (81 cm.) high when extended; 49 3/8 in. (125.5 cm.) high when folded
