About the Item
Behold the splendor of Ming Dynasty artistry with this magnificent Kang table (SKU: ZD71), an exceptional piece of furniture from the 16th to 17th century. This table is not merely a functional object but a canvas for the rich narrative of a scholar's life in ancient China.
The table's surface is a masterful inlay of mother-of-pearl, meticulously pieced together to depict an idyllic scholars' garden scene. Each fragment of mother-of-pearl contributes to the overall elegance, catching the light to reveal the intricate details of this peaceful assembly—a homage to the revered cultural pursuits of the Ming literati.
Surrounded by lush flora and the tranquil architecture of their retreats, the scholars are engaged in leisurely discussions and contemplation, a scene symbolic of the intellectual and artistic endeavors that defined the scholarly class of the time.

It is an heirloom piece that embodies the essence of Chinese cultural heritage, offering a statement of unmatched historical and aesthetic value for any collector or enthusiast of antique furnishings.
