Lot 758: A Late Victorian Chinoiserie Bamboo and Cane Two-Tier Plant Stand
A late Victorian bamboo and cane two-tier plant stand in the Chinoiserie fashion. The stand features a tripod frame constructed from dark-stained bent bamboo poles, which curve upwards to form the supports and circular rim for the top tier. The joints are reinforced with decorative fiber bindings. Both the upper and lower circular tiers contain inset panels of woven cane in a traditional hexagonal pattern. The lower tier is supported by three shorter horizontal bamboo struts, and the legs terminate in rounded, ball-like finials. The structure is typical of Anglo-Chinese furniture popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. No maker’s marks or labels are present on the piece.
Large-scale furniture items; exact dimensions are not provided.
