20. Hongmu Large Rectangular Scroll-shaped Stand
Qing dynasty, 18th century
Height: 9.1cm
Length: 54.0cm
Depth: 29.8cm
This elegant stand with scroll-shaped legs is a tangential reference to the traditional format of the hand scroll, and therefore, to the literati’s study and desk. As such, it would have perhaps been most suitably placed on a scholar’s desk to display the study accoutrements such as brushes, inkstones or valued antiques or a scholar’s rock.
