Chinese Sword Leg Offering Table, circa 1800

About the Item

This 19th century table is styled with lyrical lines and classical proportions. It is easily identified by its arched and curved apron and the beautifully balanced abstract sword shape of its lower legs and feet. The round shoulders beneath the apron are distinctive and appear simple but are a truly sophisticated detail. This elegant table would have originally been used in a traditional Chinese home as an incense stand, for serving wine, or for displaying potted landscapes or other collectibles. Additional dimensions: Table apron to floor 26.25".
