Qing Tables

QING STYLE

The last imperial dynasty from 1644 to 1912 was a time of change in China, beginning with the invasion by Manchurian forces that ended the Ming dynasty and established the Shunzhi Emperor. The expansion of exportation and trade that had bolstered the arts during the Ming era continued, as Qing dynasty furniture involved the same attention to craftsmanship with expert construction techniques in hardwood pieces that were assembled with mortise and tenon joints rather than nails or glue. Together, these eras comprise a golden age of Chinese furniture design.

Ming-style furniture is simple and elegant with clean lines. Chairs of the period and other Ming furniture made an impression on Scandinavian modernist Hans Wegner and his streamlined seating, for example. Whereas Qing-style furniture is elaborate, with an increasing influence from the West leading to lavish carving inspired by the European Baroque and Rococo styles. And while many of the forms that define examples of the latter are common within classical Chinese furniture, such as curving and folding chairs as well as large screens, Qing designs are laden with ornamentation. Frequently, the carved motifs and inlaid designs in mother-of-pearl were auspicious, such as peonies for wealth or dragons for luck. Bats were symbols of happiness in the design of Qing furniture, with one of the characters in the word for bat, bianfu, being a homophone for fu, or “fortune.”

While several types of wood were used in the construction of Qing beds, tables, storage pieces and seating, today’s collectors know that the most prized were the rare rosewoods zitan and huanghuali. They were both sourced from Hainan, China’s largest island, and are marked by a rich luster that occurs naturally, without the application of lacquer or other decorative materials. Many of the most popular woods were imported from southeast Asia, adding to their value. Red sandalwood was also sought after for its durability and connection with Chinese medicine, with some chairs being made for health benefits.

19th Century Chinese Ming Style Wine Table or Small Altar Table

Located in Kilmarnock, VA

A finely proportioned Chinese hardwood table dating to the 19th century, crafted in richly figured hongmu with a floating panel top framed by a mitered border. The restrained silhouette is elevated by elegant recessed legs and delicately shaped scroll-form spandrels, details rooted in the refined furniture traditions of the Qing dynasty. The warm reddish-brown wood displays beautiful natural grain variation throughout, with dark mineral streaking visible in the legs and apron adding depth and character to the surface. The top exhibits expected age-related shrinkage and wear, lending the piece an honest patina accumulated over generations of use. Originally intended as a wine table, incense table, or small altar table, its versatile scale translates effortlessly into contemporary interiors. It functions equally well as a console, lamp table, entry table, bedside table, or sculptural accent piece. The clean architectural lines and balanced proportions appeal to both traditional and modern sensibilities, making it particularly well suited to interiors inspired by the work of designers such as Axel Vervoordt, John Pawson, and Rose Tarlow, where age, material authenticity, and quiet craftsmanship are celebrated. A handsome and highly usable example of 19th-century Chinese hardwood furniture.
