Carved wooden sellette - Asia late 19th century - Art Deco

Old harness from china or vietnam. It was carved in a hardwood, in the mass. The column is surrounded by a dragon, the chinese motif par excellence — a symbol in vietnam of imperial power. At the base of the column, there is also a phoenix - in china, the phoenix is a pythian bird that rules over all other birds. The phoenix is the symbol of the empress just as the dragon is that of the emperor. The harness has shards as shown in the photos, but this does not detract from the beauty of the object. The photos are an integral part of describing the harness. Don't hesitate to look at them carefully. The dimensions of this harness are 113.5 cm high, the space between each foot where dragon heads are found are 50 cm by 50 cm. The tray of the harness is 21 cm by 21 cm. The unwrapped weight of an applique is 10, 600 kg. If you would like to insure your order, please contact me so that I can inform you of the cost of it.
