Description
This exquisite late 19th century Chinese 2-tier Hongmu pedestal or urn stand from the Qing dynasty is a testament to the era’s skilled craftsmanship. The stand features an inset panel top, which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, providing a secure base for displaying cherished items. The entire piece is adorned with delicate carved and pierced lotus motifs, a symbol of purity and enlightenment in Chinese culture, which are meticulously rendered to create a sense of depth and texture.
The structure is supported by shaped square supports, which transition into elegant leaf scroll feet, indicative of the organic inspiration that characterises much of traditional Chinese design. These supports not only add stability but also contribute to the overall visual harmony of the piece.
Adding to its historical value, the underside of the stand bears an old label indicating it was once part of the collection at James Hudson’s Burley Grange, located in Burley in Wharfdale. This provenance suggests the piece was not only appreciated for its functionality but also treasured as a collectible item, reflecting the cultural exchange and appreciation for Chinese artistry during the period.
Overall, this Hongmu pedestal or urn stand is a beautiful representation of Qing dynasty furniture, combining utility with an elegant expression of traditional Chinese motifs and design principles. It would have been a distinguished addition to any interior, enhancing the space with its rich material and intricate details.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return

How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
