Chinese Narrow Lacquered Walnut Table, c. 1800

About the Item

This slender painting table from the early 19th-century exemplifies the timeless elegance of classical Chinese furniture forms. With its long surface ideal for contemplating scrolls and paintings, the table likely once resided in a scholar's studio, selected for its balanced proportions and refined simplicity. The console table is crafted of walnut with traditional joinery and has a square corner design with a floating panel top, straight legs ending in hoof feet and gracefully arched leg braces. Darkened for an even, monochrome finish, the narrow table has a smooth surface texture with antique wear and light fading at the edges. Additional Dimensions: Table Apron to Floor: 29.5"H
