About the Item

This low, rectangular table would have once flanked a platform bed in the intimate living space of a traditional Qing-dynasty home. Perfectly proportioned, the table is a quintessential example of Chinese furniture design. The inset, rounded legs, straight stretchers, and simple, curved spandrels are all fundamentals of Ming-inspired furniture. The expansive tabletop showcases the beautiful grain patterns of northern elm (yumu), darkened by traces of the original lacquer and soft to the touch. Dated to the mid-19th century, the low table is ideal today as a coffee table or nightstand. Additional Dimensions: Table Apron to Floor: 15"H
