Chinese William & Mary Side Table

Six turned legs and a wavy stretcher, all in white, with the paint worn back at every corner.

This William and Mary side table comes from China, is contemporary, and is made of painted walnut. The William and Mary style, named for the English monarchs of the late 17th century, is generally known for trumpet and baluster turnings, shaped stretchers and bun feet. Here the rectangular top overhangs a single drawer with a dark drop pull. Six baluster-turned legs, three across the front, rest on serpentine stretchers that meet at small ball feet. The white painted finish is chipped and rubbed through at edges and turnings. It is 33.5 inches long, 18.5 deep and 28 high.

Old manners, freshly painted and lightly scuffed.
