About the Item

This striking antique table feels almost modern - designed with minimal decoration and an intriguing interplay of geometric lines. Originally a writing table for painting, calligraphy and viewing scrolls, the 19th-century Chinese table has a long, rectangular top and rests on simple corner legs. The legs and apron are carved with a reeded texture of repeating ridges, a subtle nod to early Chinese furniture made of bent bamboo. Darkened by lacquer with a great patina, the impressive table is ideal today as a statement desk, console or center table.
