ANTIQUE ORIENTAL RARE FINELY CARVED PIERCED RED SANDAL ROSEWOOD STAND - $4,000 - (Oak Bay, BC)

THIS IS ANOTHER OF MY RARE SMALL GEMS. It is a small exquisite finely detailed carved and pierced oriental table stand. It is carved of the rare red sandalwood rosewood. Even with a 20 times magnification I cannot find even one tiny flaw I purchased it in England from the private collection of a collector of oriental antiques who was retiring at age 84. This was 40 years ago. At that time he dated it C1850. It has graced my display cabinet since. It is 15cm (6") at longest by 11cm (4 1/2") at widest by 7 1/2cm (3") tall. Now imagine the intricacy of the detail! It weighs 146 grams (5.14ounces) Shipping: All rare and delicate items are triple wrapped; double boxed and tracked. Priority overnight or special delivery can be arranged.
