來源： Evaristo Caretti (1879-1955)，中國及意大利，並由後人保存迄今
Robert Kleiner于1988年所作的評估中曾提及，此件拍品于1921年獲得于北京
Compare with a related zitan square-top stand, mid-Qing dynasty, with similar key-fret border, illustrated by Tian Jiaqing, , Hong Kong, 1996, pp.166-167, no.69.
By the Qing dynasty, had become an exceptionally scarce and valuable timber. The slow growth of the tree, together with the depletion of mature timber, resulted in dwindling supplies, while much of the material available to the Qing Court was imported from Southeast Asia and its use carefully regulated. Its dense grain, hardness and natural lustre nevertheless made it particularly prized for furniture, especially where elaborate carving was required. The scarcity of large sections increasingly encouraged the use of veneer, conserving the precious timber while retaining its characteristic colour, grain and lustrous surface.
See a related pair of square corner-leg stools, Qianlong/Jiaqing, which was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 29 May 2013, lot 1954.
