Research Remarks
| Description | This is the stand for a Chinese wood carving of a recumbent woman. Lacquerware of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) was typically produced in government-sponsored workshops and carved by craftsmen already experienced in crafting works of bamboo and ivory. The rapid political and economic decline of the Qing Dynasty following the reign of Qianlong (1735-1796) resulted in the closing down of many palace workshops, and the lacquer items made afterwards were fewer and had diminished in quality. |
