This pair of demilune tables with 4 stools (6 piece set) is from Hebei Province, China, and dates to the 20th century. It is huanghuali & yunnan marble. Collectors generally weigh aesthetics, age, condition, design, origin and provenance when judging antique furniture, though the article argues that scarcity ends up with the greatest influence on value. Circular table with a two-part dark wood top and a deeply carved apron of scrolling leaves. Five curved cabriole-style legs flow into a ring stretcher near the floor, joined with small carved knees. Warm reddish brown. It is 51 inches long, 51 deep and 32.5 high.

Curvy from every angle, and unapologetic.
