Chinese Textile Display Stand with 2 Drawers

A red-framed stand holding a painted panel, with two small drawers at its foot.

This textile display stand with 2 drawers is from Shanxi Province, China, and dates to the 20th century. It is lacquered & painted elm wood. As original period furniture became harder to find, restoration artists began salvaging fragments from incomplete pieces to make complete ones, and eventually full reproductions began to surface. Tall red lacquered frame with a flat crest rail and flared ends. A panel painted with dark foliage and figures on a gold-toned ground sits in the center, and a low base carries two little drawers. It is 30 inches long, 15 deep and 68 high.

A gallery wall that comes with its own frame.
