Provincial Chinese Dongbei Coffer Table, c. 1900

About the Item

The warm tones and active grain of natural pine wood are the focus of this unusually articulated Dongbei coffer table. Made for a provincial home in northeastern China, this table was once used to honor loved ones past and present with photos or other prized possessions. Crafted in the late 19th century, the table is devoid of any excess decoration apart from its simple metal hardware. Punctuated by a double door, the table extends horizontally on either side to reveal more storage. With its overhanging table top, extended apron, and splayed legs, this coffer charms with unconventional beauty. We love its emphasis on natural wood and the depth of character earned through decades of use. Additional Dimensions: Side Doors: 20"W x 17"D x 8.5"H Middle Doors: 9"W x 17"D x 8"H
