Description
DeepL TranslateThis large table was produced in Shanxi province, central China, where it would have been used originally as a 'painting table' - a work surface for scholarly pursuits such as calligraphy or watercolours. Today its large proportions make it ideally suited as a dining table, with a beautiful patina and character formed over the decades. The table is made from elm wood - a popular material for furniture making in northern China due to its durability and attractive grain. The original dark finish has largely worn to reveal a paler colour below, with the beautiful, wide wood grain prominent.
