QR Code Link to This Post
A finely carved mid‑20th‑century hardwood serpent tripod stand, crafted from a single block of wood and designed to open into a stable three‑point display base. Each serpent features a carved head with hand‑cut bone inlaid eyes and contrasting dark pupils, along with additional dark hardwood inlays set into the crown and body. The serpents’ bodies interlace to form the classic tripod structure, terminating in fully carved feet — a detail found only on higher‑quality examples of this form.
The stand opens and closes smoothly, showing excellent symmetry and a warm, well‑preserved finish. Compact and sculptural, it’s ideal for displaying a bowl, vase, crystal sphere, or decorative object.
A beautifully detailed example of traditional single‑block serpent carving with uncommon inlay work.
Condition
One serpent shows a faint straight incision along the body. This is a traditional relief cut made during the carving of interlocking tripod stands and is original to the piece. It is smooth, stable, and does not represent damage or a structural issue. Overall excellent vintage condition with no cracks or repairs.
Materials
Hardwood, hand‑cut bone inlay, dark hardwood inlay
