Brilliantly colored with bold enamels, this porcelain hat stand was once used by a Qing-dynasty gentleman to display his caps while they weren't in use. This stand is decorated in the style of famille rose, a technique that emerged during the 18th century that employs opaque overglaze enamels in pinks, reds, blues, and greens.

The cylindrical stand is hand-painted with a scene of courtly women dressed in colorful flowing robes in a garden landscape. Standing underneath a flowering branch, these two serene women demonstrate an idealized peaceful lifestyle. The hat stand is finished with a brushwork of Chinese calligraphy beneath the rising sun.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
