1930s Art Deco Shanghai Coffee Table Made of Varnished Elm with Quadripod Base

About the Item

This unusual round coffee table is made of varnished elm and was carved in Shanghai in an uncommon Art Deco style. The circular top is made of two elm planks and varnished with a warm red lacquer. The table is raised on four legs with delicate column insets, connected to one another with a cross stretcher adorned in its center with a medallion, perhaps placed there to receive a decorative item. The general roundness of this Art Deco Chinese table, circa 1930 would make it a sophisticated and unusual item a most elegant decoration. Thanks to its convenient dimensions, it would be a splendid side table or coffee table, perhaps in a den.

Qing Dynasty Elm Lohan Bed Coffee Table with Hand-Woven Rattan Top
Located in Yonkers, NY
An antique Chinese Qing Dynasty period elm wood coffee table from the early 20th century, with hand-woven rattan top inset, square legs, open apron and pillar strut motifs.
