Description
Small (16" dia, 21" high) very heavy wood, carved and probably ebonised. It appears to be either Chinese or Japanese or possibly from India.
It has been in the family (originally South London or Yorkshire) for many years, probably since (or even before) WWII. There are no identifying marks that I can find
Any ideas please as to origin and/or value?
Thanks
David
Re: Chinese/Japanese or?? small table
It looks Chinese, stands like this were used to display large porcelain vases and urns. Most date from the turn of the 19th century through the 1930's, but they remain in production to this day. At auction comparable stands sell in the $150.00- $250.00 range.
Re: Chinese/Japanese or?? small table
Thank you, that makes sense as it was used to display a large chinese vase.
Do you have any recent auction data to support the valuation?

Indeed I do, we subscribe to several auction databases that list both current and past auctions.

OK thanks - BTW I lived in Suffolk in England where the Lovejoy TV series was filmed
