This attractive 19th Century Coffee Table is typical of the items which were being produced in China specifically for the western market from early in the 19th century and beyond. These items are commonly referred to as having been made for the Chinese Export market.
 
Often referred to as opium tables due to the similarity in design to similar tables used in China during the 18th and 19th centuries for people to sit on the floor and smoke opium at these hardwood coffee tables are always very popular indeed.That is mainly because they serve a purpose which very few other genuinely antiques can, which is be used as a coffee table in modern interiors.
 
The oriental hardwood which it is constructed from is a particularly hard wearing wood making it perfect for use as a coffee table and requiring very little ongoing care, polishing and attention
