Low Scroll Table, Black Lacquer Wall Art the grain of the solid

the grain of the solid reclaimed wood really stands out

where low furniture would be placed on the heated 'kang' platform that formed the main living space in the winter months

The drawers each have a simple ring handle and the table's legs end in classic Chinese horse hoof feet

with books and other personal items stored inside the cupboard section

During the Ming and Qing dynasties it was more common for there to be a single open shelf

Low Scroll Table, Black Lacquer Wall Art the grain of the solidGreat as a coffee table or as a stand for a television, this beautifully simple black lacquer low table is designed on the 'lute tables' used by the Chinese when seated on the floor to play musical instruments. The rolled scroll design at the table's feet was a popular Qing dynasty motif, but the style is almost contemporary one that would fit into even the most modern home.
