About this Item

Chinese rosewood and carved console table, 20th century
the rectangular grooved top with pierced and carved scroll ends above a conforming frieze, raised on rope-twist legs joined by side stretchers, terminating in block feet

* this item is not suitable for export

height: 84,5cm; width: 121cm; depth: 42cm

Notes

This form is inspired by the altar table of the Qing dynasty, traditionally used in reception halls for scholarly objects, incense burners or ancestral offerings.

The rope-twist legs reflect the growing influence of Western decorative preferences in mid-century Chinese export furniture.
