This elegant 19th-century Chinese flower stand from Jiangsu province is crafted from red elm (zelkova), known in China as jumu or “southern elm.” Red elm is prized for its warm reddish tone and attractive grain, and in traditional Chinese furniture making it was often considered superior to its northern elm counterpart. The timber was widely used by craftsmen in Jiangsu, a region celebrated for producing refined and well-proportioned hardwood furniture.

Originally, many flower stands from this region were finished with a deep burgundy lacquer, and traces of this original lacquer can still be seen on this example. The stand features a small drawer beneath the top, as well as a finely executed raised tray edge, a subtle yet technically demanding detail designed to prevent water from spilling when displaying plants or vases.

At the base is a beautifully crafted “cracked ice” lattice shelf, a decorative feature often regarded as a sign of quality craftsmanship. This openwork shelf not only adds visual interest but also provides useful additional storage. Pieces of this type were traditionally used as flower stands or tea tables and were often made in pairs. Today they make ideal bedside tables, lamp tables, or occasional tables, and work particularly well beside a sofa or placed symmetrically on either side of a mantelpiece.

Two are available, each sold separately, allowing them to be used individually or as a matching pair.
