About the Item

With exquisite joinery and balanced proportions, this woven-top summer daybed from Zhejiang province is a fine example of Qing-dynasty furniture. Dated to the mid-19th century, the low-lying daybed is a form of casual seating known as "ta," used throughout the courtyard home as a portable surface for reclining, playing games, and gathering for food and drink. The daybed features a beautiful waisted frame of cypress wood, crafted with smooth contours, a subtle beaded trim and softly rounded edges that flow into round corner legs. Ideal today as a chaise or coffee table, the daybed is finished with a tightly-woven top for added comfort, hand-woven of thin reeds in a basic twill pattern.
