A SONG - STYLE LUTE TABLE

Ancient Chinese aesthetics reached their peak during the Song and Yuan periods. This qin stand was inspired by traditional Shanxi style furniture as discussed in 'C.L. Ma Collection: Traditional Chinese Furniture from the Greater Shanxi Region', 1999, Hong Kong, page 166, No 71. This stand is made of baisuanzhi wood (Latin: Dalbergia oliveri) with materials carefully selected and seasoned through a strict process to provide stability of the final form. The master craftsman has applied traditional techniques in the carving of the fine, elegant lines to achieve the perfect re-transmission of Song and Yuan styles.
