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.
