PIECE OF HISTORY
Exact age and origin unknown but appears to be early to mid 1800s? maybe earlier? Your comments are welcome.. On the underside it looks like the Jasper is being held in place by old animal hide glue? Stand is solid and sturdy showing appropriate oxidation, wood shrinkage and checking.. I have bought and sold many of these carved Chinese stands throughout my 50yrs in this business and have never seen one of this age with such attention to Positive Inspiration in design, and quality.. Don't miss this one..
