Description: Antique Chinese Hand Carved Longyan Wood Stand. An exquisite late Qing Dynasty display stand of longyan wood, carved as a miniature "kang" table. The center panel features an amazing grain that delights the eye. Front and back aprons have been carved with facing Dragons battling over the flaming pearl of wisdom. The side aprons feature an additional dragon. Dramatic Lion heads at each corners extend to cabriole legs ending in ball and claw feet. Longyan (Dragon eye) wood, also called Tiger Skin wood, comes from the tropical fruit bearing Longyan Tree. The wood is notoriously difficult to work with, but the lustrous, shimmering grain and rich in golden tones of the finished product are considered to rival even the best hardwoods.
