Antique Chinese Demilune Lacquered Table Late Qing Dynasty

About the Item

A Chinese demilune console table circa second half of 19th century (the late Qing dynasty; 1644-1912). Made in pair always, the D shaped table was so named because it resembles half-moon and when the two tables are put together, they form a perfect full-moon circle. It bears a symbolism of family reunion as the tables are put together as a large dining table when the family members come together. The table on offer was made from elm wood, a light hardwood commonly used for vernacular furniture in northern China. The surface has a brown-reddish lacquer finish that was likely reapplied many times in its life. The table features a pierced horizontal lozenge frieze in three partitions, under which is a prominent wide skirt carved with auspicious clouds and Lingzhi mushroom. From the skirt extends four long concave cabriole legs that end with hoof feet. The legs were joined by curved stretcher and decorated at midway with the archaic abstract Taotie mask symbol in bas relief. The tabletop has a later glass top for protection.
