About the Item

A Qing dynasty period shop sign from the 19th century with carved and gilded calligraphy, made into a coffee table. This Qing dynasty shop sign from the 19th century, originally a rectangular panel adorned with four prominent raised gilded calligraphy characters and flanked by smaller ones, has been creatively transformed into a unique coffee table. The sign's exquisite top is accentuated by the glistening golden calligraphy against a dark backdrop, adding a layer of historical depth and charm to any space. The table is built with a waisted apron, elegantly flowing into four straight legs ending in refined horse hoof feet, enhancing its structural grace and stability. The lovely dark brown lacquered patina of the wood, with its rich, aged finish, compliments the gleaming gilded characters, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tones. The juxtaposition of the rustic patina with the vibrant gold accents offers a striking visual appeal, making this piece not just a functional table but also a conversation starter that speaks of its rich heritage. Perfectly suited for a living room or covered patio, this Qing dynasty shop sign repurposed as a coffee table will bring an exotic yet refined elegance to any setting. Its clean lines and unique top create an ideal focal point, whether placed in a traditional or contemporary interior, offering both style and function in one exquisite piece.

Qing Dynasty 19th Century Coffee Table with Carved Apron and Dark Patina

Located in Yonkers, NY

A Chinese Qing Dynasty period coffee table from the 19th century, with carved apron and scrolling feet. Created in China during the Qing Dynasty period, this low table, which could nowadays be used as a coffee table (the Chinese didn't used coffee tables in the 19th century), features a rectangular top with central board, sitting above a beautifully carved apron. This apron is adorned with a central calligraphic motif surrounded by scrolls, animals, foliage and geometric accents. Raised on four straight legs with scrolling feet, the table boasts a dark patina. We review all of our pieces and address issues we may find before they leave for your home; however, this is an antique piece, and as such it will keep its character and some imperfections, which is the quintessence of antique and vintage furniture. With its small proportions and nicely carved décor, this Chinese Qing Dynasty low table...
