Description
Shanxi, circa 1860
This exquisite low table would serve as a standout TV stand or coffee table in a modern home. Dating back to the late 1800s, it originates from China's Shanxi province and would typically have been placed on a heated platform known as a 'kang' during colder months. The table showcases meticulous craftsmanship with intricately carved dragon designs on the side and a delicate apron on the front. While the original dark finish is still visible, it has aged beautifully, adding to the table's character. The two drawers, adorned with original hardware, can be removed to reveal a hidden storage space once used to safeguard valuable documents and personal belongings.
