Chinese Coffee Table From Shanxi - 19th Century
This elegant 19th-century Chinese painter’s table has been sympathetically adapted to create a unique and characterful coffee table. Originally used by scholars and painters for calligraphy and ink work, it has been carefully reduced in height while preserving its original proportions and detailing.
Crafted from solid yumu elm wood, the table retains its original dark worn lacquer and displays a wonderfully rich patina built up over time. The refined lines, rounded corners, and recessed apron brackets are typical of northern Chinese design from the Qing period.
