Older and larger than usual mid Century Chinese stool, side table or drinks table on five ruyi shaped legs ornately hand painted with gold flowers, scrolls and butterflies. The top has beautifully applied hand crafted three dimensional jade/jadeite stone depicting green bamboo, chrysanthemums and one bird with a gleaming mother of pearl tail. The height of the chrysanthemums flowers under the glass is around 1cm - quite a bit of jade that gives the three dimensional effect. The semi precious stone work is kept safe under a thick customised cut glass top. Made in the mid 20th C. in China as can be told from the size which is larger than the more modern pieces. Minor lacquer chips and wear to decoration otherwise in great condition. A nice older piece manufactured by Jinlong (translates as Golden Dragon) in Beijing - as per the label. This item has multiple uses throughout the home.
Dimensions: Dia 18", H18". Top 13.8".
Good condition. Previous professional repair to leg - see last photograph. Acceptable shrinkage at joints. Minor chips.
