Hand-Painted Bamboo Dragonfly Display Stand

This hand-painted bamboo dragonfly stand holds your balancing dragonfly on a slender rod. Carved, sanded and painted at the Liên Xoan workshop in Thạch Xá — the natural companion piece to any dragonfly in our collection.

The base sits on a table, a shelf, a windowsill, or a counter. A thin rod fits into the top; your dragonfly rests on the tip of that rod, floating above the painted base. It is how we display pieces in the atelier.

How it works

• Hand-painted wooden base with a rod socket on top
• Place a thin dowel or bamboo stick into the socket
• Rest your bamboo dragonfly on the tip — no glue, no clips — it stays by balance alone

Colour

Every order ships with a randomly painted base — patterns and colour palettes vary from piece to piece. If you have a colour in mind (to match a room, a wedding palette, or a gift), leave a note at checkout or write to us after ordering and we’ll match as closely as we can.

How the bamboo dragonfly stand is made

Solid wood is turned, shaped, sanded, then hand-painted with water-based paints. Patterns are freehand — small differences from piece to piece are marks of the hand that made them.

Give your dragonfly a home

A dragonfly balanced on a fingertip is a trick; balanced on its own painted stand, it becomes decor. The stand keeps your favourite piece on permanent display — on a desk, a bookshelf, a windowsill — exactly the way we show them in the atelier. Pairs with any dragonfly in our collection; more arrangement ideas in five ways to display a bamboo dragonfly.

Frequently asked questions

Does the stand include a dragonfly?

No — this listing is the display stand on its own. It pairs with any dragonfly from our painted or unpainted sets.

How does it work?

The hand-painted base has a rod socket on top. Fit a thin rod into the socket, rest your dragonfly’s beak on the tip, and it floats above the base — held by balance alone, no clips or glue.

Can I choose the colour?

Each order ships with a randomly painted base — every one unique. If you have a palette in mind (a room, a wedding table, a gift), leave a note at checkout and we will match as closely as we can.

Which dragonfly sizes fit the stand?

All of them — the resting point is a rod tip, so any wingspan from our sets balances on it the same way.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, worldwide from Hanoi — see how we pack and ship overseas.

Why buy from our shop instead of a marketplace?

You pay less here — marketplaces add their fees on top of our workshop price — and direct orders often include a small bonus from the bench. Personalised engraving and several sets are only sold on this site, and every direct order supports the Liên Xoan family atelier in full.
