Bring the elegance and romance of historic China to your desk or study with the Ming Polo Desk Tub by Lady Clare. This distinctive English-made desk accessory features a beautifully detailed equestrian scene inspired by the centuries-old tradition of polo in China, dramatically presented against a rich black painted background with elegant gold trim.
Both decorative and practical, the Ming Polo Desk Tub is ideal for holding pens, pencils and other writing instruments, while adding a sophisticated equestrian accent to a desk, library, study or home office.
Although known as Ming Polo, the tradition depicted in this striking design reaches much further back in Chinese history. Polo is believed to have originated in Central Asia and became particularly fashionable in China during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD). The fast-paced equestrian sport was especially popular among members of the imperial court and aristocracy, and historical evidence shows that both men and women played polo.
Lady Clare's Ming Polo Collection draws upon this rich equestrian tradition, combining the drama and movement of the polo field with the decorative elegance associated with historic Chinese art.
Made in Great Britain, the Lady Clare Ming Polo Desk Tub combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless equestrian style. The dramatic black painted background provides a handsome setting for the Ming Polo artwork, while gold trim adds an elegant finishing touch.
A protective lacquered finish provides durability for everyday use, while the green felt base helps protect fine desks and furniture surfaces from scratches.
Compact yet distinctive, this desk tub makes a wonderful addition to a traditional study, library or home office and pairs beautifully with other pieces from the Lady Clare Ming Polo Collection.
