Chinese Rectangular Base (Large)

A low black stand that sits very still and expects the same of its cargo.

This large rectangular carved base is from China. It is sandalwood. Sandalwood is a dense, fragrant heartwood that has long been prized in Asia for carving, incense and small objects. Flat rectangular top with a rounded edge, over a narrow carved band along the apron. Sides curve down into a wide oval opening, ending in small block feet. The black finish reads smooth with some dull patches. It is 3.75 inches wide, 1.75 deep and 1 high.

Built to be looked past, which takes real confidence.
