AN EXTREMELY RARE HUANGHUALI OCTAGONAL INCENSE STAND
LATE MING DYNASTY
The top is of frame construction with a single board flush, tongue-and-grooved floating panel supported by one dovetailed transverse stretcher below. The edge of the frame moulds downwards and inwards from about one third way down and then again to end in a very narrow flat band. The waist and the beaded-edged leaf-shaped aprons are made of one piece of wood. The four rectangular legs are shaped in a graceful curve to end in small outward hoofs which are tenoned to the slightly curved, rectangular base stretchers, with four small feet at the corners.
19 7/8 in. (50.5 cm.) wide, 14 7/8 in. (37.7 cm.) deep, 40 5/8 in. (103.3 cm.) high
