Pair of Chinese Huanghuali Nesting Trays

About the Item

A refined and elegant pair of huanghuali nesting trays. An exotic hardwood, huanghuali (which translate to "yellow flowering pear wood"), has long been prized in China. These trays would originally have graced the desk of a scholar and aided him in his scholarly pursuits. The larger tray features a wonderful golden hue, and a prized "ghost face". The smaller tray features a darker tone and more pronounced grain. The sides are carved a pierced with an abstracted could pattern.
