Low Splayed Leg Table

Offered by: PAGODA RED

Description
Depth: 27.5" // Perfectly proportioned, this low table is a quintessential example of classical Chinese furniture design. The table dates to the mid-19th century and is crafted of northern elm (yumu) with mortise-and-tenon joinery, without the use of nails and screws. Subtly splayed legs provide stability and the rectangular top features a central floating panel, allowing the wood to expand and contract with the seasons. Minimally decorated, the table's timeless silhouette recalls Ming-dynasty forms, featuring inset, round legs, straight double stretchers, and simply shaped spandrels. With neutral light brown color and an antique patina, the table is ideal today as a storied coffee table.
