Subject:Chinese furnature
Posted By: Robert Mon, May 05, 2008 IP: 76.111.125.159 Can someone with experience with Chinese furnature please help me determine the type of wood used and approximate dating of a large (69 cm long) hardwood stand I have? It is made of one single piece of trunk (about 5.5 cm thick) which was carved and planed. The only attachments are the legs, which are attached by dowels. Pic 1 shows the foot construction, pic 2 the dowel, and pic three is a closeup of the grain. Thanks!

Posted By: kk Tue, May 06, 2008 The wooden dowels are later added and not for joinery. This’s not a traditional Chinese woodworking technique. The piece is stained to look like Hongmu. It’s most likely huali or some type of softwood. The style of the feet looks like late qing to republic period without seeing the overall design. Does it has “china” or “madinchina” mark on the bottom?
