About the Item
These hardwood folding stands from northern China were once used by a Qing-dynasty woman to elevate mirrors of silvered bronze or glass in the intimate quarters of her traditional Chinese home. In keeping with the trends, a well-to-do woman would use such a mirror to update her elaborate hairstyles and carefully composed makeup.
Elegant in their simplicity, each collapsible stand is crafted of fine hardwood and ornamented with a beaded trim and richly aged brass hardware. Today, the mirror stands are a storied way to display books or small works of art.
