An absolutely breathtaking set of two carved and gilded three tiered wooden stands in the form of blossoming lotus enclosed in the original kiri-wood box dating from the Meiji period. They stand 14 inches (35.5 cm) to the top flower, with each red-lacquered tier over three inches ((8 cm) in diameter. 13 individual fronds rise up to blossoms and leaves, each exquisitely carved and covered in gold lacquer over black. Despite the delicate appearance the stands are very stable. A truly unique set. There is some worm damage to the box along the lower edge, yet the stands are in excellent, well preserved condition.
