Description
This wonderfully ornate, carved table is one of the best examples of the style that we have seen in recent years. It would once have been used as an altar table, most likely in a temple in Shanxi province where it was sourced from, with incense and offerings placed on its surface. It is still in its original proportions, with a wide, deep top surface. The front incorporates a full width drawer over two smaller drawers, the front of each one in deep carved relief showing traditionl floral patterns. The spandrels at each side are beautifully carved in a traditional dragon design and taper down from the table's extended top surface towards the lower legs. This is a quite rare piece in a highly original condition that would be a real statement in any setting.
