Status: Sold

A charming pair of hand-decorated Oriental stands, originating from the prestigious Sanborn Estate. These stands are not crafted from porcelain, as one might initially assume, but from a different meticulous process, which further adds to their uniqueness and collectible appeal. The stands feature an exquisite surface design with delicate floral motifs, reminiscent of cherry blossoms, set against a cream background with rich red undertones that give depth and warmth. The decorative borders boast intricate geometric patterns and gilt accents, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and artistry. One stand bears the scars of time with noticeable damage, offering a narrative of its history and survival through the years. This distinct mark does not detract from the set's beauty; rather, it adds character and serves as a talking point about the object's past.
