A large garment robe display rack from Northern China, circa late 19th century toward the end of Qing Dynasty Made of elm wood and finished in a deep red lacquer that still allow the visibility of the wood grains, the stand was traditional used to display large garment and dragon robes and could service as a screen as well. The rack was constructed in the classic form from late Qing dynasty that features elaborate craving. Two phoenix-head finials with scrolling brackets were placed at both ends. Three wood panels, each with detailed carving, were in the center. The two flanking panel showcase the character of "double happiness" and "Longevity". "Double Happiness" was always reserved for the wedding ceremony, indicating the joyous occasion intended for this piece of furniture. Toward the base, scroll pattern corner brackets were connected to the feet supports. The construction is completely of Mortise and Tenon, a traditional joinery in Chinese woodworking.
The stand displays a lovely patina indicative of its history as an authentic piece. less
