For thousands of years, precious Chinese artworks have been displayed on auspicious wooden stands. Recognized today as pieces of art, root sculptures like this stand are born from the scholarly tradition of surrounding oneself with objects that reflect the natural world. Decorated with ruyi, a traditional mushroom motif symbolizing good fortune and longevity, this pedestal has a wonderful sculptural form, whether elevating another object or standing on its own.

What They're Saying

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
