A finely carved Chinoiserie plant stand or side table from the late 19th century, featuring a rich red marble inset top above a wood base carved with foo dog (guardian lion) motifs. Foo dogs traditionally symbolize protection and prosperity, and their inclusion here reflects the decorative vocabulary popular in Chinese export and Chinoiserie furniture of the period.

This piece has remained with a single family since it was originally acquired, adding a layer of continuous provenance that's increasingly hard to find.

Condition notes:
- Very good antique condition
- Structurally sound
- Age-appropriate signs of normal use, as pictured
- Overall a lovely, well-preserved example of the period
