Lot 1003 A pair of carved zitan lobed stools

A pair of carved zitan lobed stools

18th century

EUR 2,400

€3,000 - €5,000

Each 50.5x44x40 cm

The purple stool has been completely reassembled and restored as close as possible to its original state. The retouching is clearly visible. Due to the restoration, the overall construction is in good condition.
The satinwood-coloured stool top shows two small missing sections. The overall construction is acceptable, and the panels of the top have separated from each other. The base, however, is in very good condition. UV discoloration has caused variations in colour, but the wood species remains the same.

The wood of one stool has an attractive grain and warm satin tone, while the other is of a deep purple colour. Each with multi-panelled top set within a flower-shaped frame above a narrow plain waist, the aprons in corresponding form, the openwork spandrels with cloud shapes, continuing onto inward-curved legs which terminate in hoof feet and are set into the base stretcher.
**Footnote**
*Please note: prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit the importation of property containing materials from endangered species, including but not limited to coral, ivory and tortoiseshell as well as certain hardwoods such as huanghuali and zitan. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should familiarize themselves with relevant customs regulations prior to bidding if they intend to import this lot into another country outside of the EU.
