Extremely Rare Late Ming Dynasty Elm and Burl Altar Table
About the Item
An elegant and graceful cabriole legged, high waisted altar table with scrolling apron, set upon a waisted platform. The top featuring a floating center panel of finely figured nanmu burl (phoebe nanmu) surrounded by a strongly figured yumu (northern elm) frame. The high waist with a double lotus border, and sectioned with cutout frames surrounding a central panel of scrolling lotus buds. The apron exuberantly pierced and carved with scrolling acanthus forming a ruyi.
Elegant tufted cabriole legs set on lion's paw and ball feet harmoniously join the top of the table to the waisted platform, featuring a floating panel of nanmu framed by jumu, with cutout panels at the waist, gracefully echoing the design, and construction of waisted top.
Finished with an attractive later French polish.
Compare to very similar table, made from more precious huanghuali (but also incorporating nanmu) and set with a bamboo top, from the Hung Collection, and published in: Ellsworth, Robert Hatfield, Chinese Furniture: One Hundred Examples from the Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection, 1996, No. 45, 132 - 133.
