octagonal hongmu and marble plant stand

Circa 1900, Chinese Qing dynasty hongmu octagonal plant stand. The segmented top with its pink variegated marble insert following the form of the shape of the top. The top edge has a beaded edge and a profusely shaped apron which continues a similar carving into the top of the legs, making it hard to distinguish where the legs begin and the apron finishes. The legs are profusely carved with a large bunch carving of leaves on the top and further foliate carving all the way down to the base. There is a cruciform stretcher in the centre in the form of bamboo with a centre motive of bamboo leaves. The table finishes on splayed feet in the form of an animal with a ball and claw.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
