Chinese Mahjong Table with 6 Drawers

Big, black, square-topped table with a single drawer and simple squared legs.

This mahjong table with 6 drawers is from Shanxi Province, China, and dates to the 19th century. It is lacquered bamboo. 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. Broad rectangular top made of plain boards with a thin overhang. Beneath it sits a long shallow drawer with a small ring pull in the center. Four square legs finish the plain body. The black finish shows brown at the edges. It is 60 inches long, 60 deep and 30.75 high.

Plain-faced and ready to host a large amount of dinner.
