专家说明

The structural design of mirror stands is based on floor screens with inset panels and fixed bases. These mirror stands were placed on dressing tables for ladies, with the mirrors standing against the central panel and held up usually with a U-shaped support. Cosmetics and ornaments were stored in the drawers located to the lower front. See a huanghuali mirror stand sold at Christie’s Paris, 19 December 2012, lot 106; and another is sold at Christie's New York, 16 - 17 September 2010, lot 1209.
