Chinese Base with Lotus Motif

All curls underneath, this round stand keeps its feet in elegant order.

This mahogany base with lotus motif is from China. Carved wooden stands and bases have long been made in China to display ceramics, stones, sculpture and other objects. Low circular stand with a wavy edge, a slightly recessed top and a small central ring. The apron is carved with rolled scroll forms and open gaps, in a dark reddish brown with a satiny glow. It is 2.25 inches high and 8.5 in diameter.

Plenty of ornament, and all of it supports something.
