Even if your tastes run clean, simple, and modern, every room needs a statement piece-a single gorgeous element that stops guests in their tracks to wonder aloud, "Where did you get that?" When it comes to our Fenfang Basin Stand, the answer is that it hails from Zhejiang province (China) about 125 years ago. (How's that for an impressive provenance?) Built of solid fir and swabbed with mottled red, green, and black paint, this stand is a total conversation piece. Use its round cutout as a spot for a plant, bowl, or other art object, and put it in a spot where everyone will see it.
