A PAIR OF CHINESE ZITAN ENAMEL DRUM STOOLS

拍品描述

This harmoniously matched pair of barrel-shaped drum stools is masterfully crafted from polished dense zitan hardwood. The wooden bodies feature elegant openwork carvings framed by scrolling raised mouldings, with vibrant cloisonn? enamel inlays inset within the decorative cartouches. Bright turquoise enamel panels bear elaborate scrolling floral motifs, while narrower enamel bands embellish the top and bottom rims, further accented by neatly arranged wooden nail-head detailing. Measuring 31 x 45 cm apiece, each stool rests on compact recessed feet. Boasting meticulous woodworking and vivid, well-preserved enamelwork, the luxurious duo serves as striking functional furnishings for refined collections of premium Chinese hardwood furniture.
