Description

Constructed, in miniature form, in the manner of a traditional Chinese table or stand. The table has been skilfully created from shaped and jointed sections of native hardwood timber - the surface finished with a dense black lacquer ground.
The surfaces are inlaid with sections of shaped and polished 'mother-of-pearl'. Traditional motifs including vases and incense burners are incorporated within the embellishment to the top face. Sections of copper alloy wire are also inlaid, forming contrasting 'cloud' like' framing to the polished natural shell.
Size: height - 4 1/2" (114mm), max width - 10 3/4" (273mm), depth - 4" (102mm).
Weight: 188 grams.
Condition - Good. Two minor chips to the black lacquer to the underside, (not visible from above - see images). Minor surfaces marks etc. consistent with age. No repairs or restoration. Natural colour and patina.
