For thousands of years, precious Chinese artworks have been elevated for display on fine wooden table stands. Recognized today as works of art in their own right, these display stands are typically finely carved, crafted of exquisite hardwoods, or designed with the refined proportions of larger furniture pieces. Resembling a low kang table, this waisted table stand is made of carved burlwood, also known as yingmu or huamu. Prized for the irregular, swirling wood grain, burl wood specimens such as this were given pride of place in the scholars' studio as sources of beauty and creative inspiration.
