This pair of tea/plant stands retains most of its original black lacquer finish. The carving on the waist is angular begonia alternated with precious pearl. The aprons are decorated with angular shaped thunder spirals. This type of angular spiral is more typical of the post-Qialong period. The legs are straight and end in horse-hoof feet. There is a base on each of these stands. Also two braces are built under the top panel to strengthen the construction.
