Chinese Low Kang Table, C. 1850

About the Item

During winter in the colder provinces of China, life revolved around the kang, a heated brick platform that household members would sit or recline upon. Low tables placed atop the kang provided a convenient surface for dining, drinking tea, or playing games. Crafted of beautiful huali rosewood, this low kang table follows the classic form, featuring a waisted apron, a rectangular floating-panel top, and short corner legs ending in cloud-form feet. A beaded edge runs along the apron and down each leg, terminating in a spiral at the knee. The apron is finely carved with a motif of bats amongst clouds, symbolizing luck and good fortune. Losses to one corner have been restored with a pieced wood repairs, revealing the loving care taken to preserve the table over nearly two centuries of use.
