Chinese Center Table with 6 Drawers

Low table with three small drawers and a slatted shelf for whatever fits.

This center table with 6 drawers is from Shanxi Province, China, and dates to the 19th century. It is lacquered elm wood. As original period furniture became harder to find, restoration artists began salvaging fragments from incomplete pieces to make complete ones, and eventually full reproductions began to surface. Overhanging top above three drawers with loop pulls, and a skirt with curved cutouts. A slatted lower shelf spans the legs close to the floor, which end in hoof feet. The finish is a glowing orange-amber. It is 52.5 inches long, 39.5 deep and 33.5 high.

A tidy table that thought about storage.
