Oversized Console Table with Drawers, Fretwork Shelves and Removable Top
About the Item
With its architectural form and substantial scale, this antique Chinese console table is a versatile anchor piece for entryways, living areas, or behind a large sofa. Measuring over 9 feet in length, the top lifts cleanly off its base and sits securely on wooden pegs, making it easy to move and reassemble. The silhouette is simple but well-proportioned, with squared legs that rise through two-tiered shelves on either side, each framed by vertical spindles above and geometric fretwork below. A single drawer is tucked into each end, fitted with ring pulls.
The table is constructed in hardwood with a dark brown lacquer finish that has deepened over time. It was likely crafted in northern China, where this style of tall altar table—once used for ancestral offerings—evolved into a practical format for scholars, calligraphers, and merchants. Today, it offers striking surface area and sculptural lines, whether placed in a modern gallery space or layered into a richly textured interior. The long, flat top makes it ideal for displaying books, sculpture, or ceramics.
