Chinese Cracked Ice Square Table, c. 1900

About the Item

This low side table honors traditional Chinese furniture forms with a simple squared frame and cracked ice lattice sides. Cracked ice lattice, known as "binglei," was a popular 17th-century Chinese decorative motif admired for its perfect asymmetry. At once modern and classic, the table's unusual silhouette is accentuated by a dark brown brushed finish.
