Antique Korean Lacquer Wood Soban Table Joseon Period

About the Item

An antique wood table from Korea from late 19th century (end of Joseon Dynasty). This type of light weight table is called "Soban" in Korean. which means "Small Tray". It was widely used primarily as individual dining table to present and serve foods, but also as small desk, incense burner holder and altar table. Its small and low profile fits the traditional personal and portable use on the floor. The current table on offer was made from Zelkova wood and finished in a red lacquer. The top surface with the slightly raised rim has a twelve-sided shape with soft corners. Its surface features expressive dark wood grains that under a glossier finish compared to the legs, possibly due to the extensive use and reapplication of lacquer over the time. The unfinished side under the table shows the same grains from the Zelkova plank. The table is supported by four outwardly turned legs resembling the legs of tiger, therefore this specific type is also known as "Hojokban" (Tiger Leg Tray). Two stretcher bars connect the legs for further stabilization. The legs are covered with darker lacquer likely original as it was not polished as much. There are wood joint nails visible on the top surface. Under the legs, the original dowel construction is also visible. This is an antique piece and displays wonderful patina from use and care over the years. The structure is integrally original. The National Folk Musuem of Korea in Seoul has a large collection of similar Hojokbans such as item 000213, 001516 and 001626.
