Chinese Writing Table with Cloud Spandrels, c. 1850

About the Item

Carefully selecting the perfect piece of timber, the craftsman who made this exceptional walnut table made the most of the wood's expressive, open-grained texture and warm golden-brown color. The swirling grain of its walnut surface and carved cloud spandrels animate the table with a sense of movement. Once used by a scholar or poet as a writing surface, this table's elegant form continues to inspire the imagination. Additional dimensions: Table apron to floor 29".
