Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1890s:
Mitred frames enclosing inset panels: traditional Chinese floating-panel joinery.
Hand-carved pierced friezes with grapevines: standard late Qing workshop ornament.
Perimeter expansion gaps around the tops: natural timber movement across many seasons.
Water rings and mellowed patina: honest wear from long domestic use.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This pair of late nineteenth to early twentieth century Chinese Qing Dynasty side tables is made from huali hardwood in a warm brown tone with a mellow patina and figured grain. Each square table features a floating panel top raised on organic faux-bamboo legs joined by humpbacked stretchers, with carved and pierced openwork grapevine aprons beneath the frieze. Visible details include minor marks and stains commensurate with age, standing in excellent strong and stable condition with no damage or repairs. Measuring 52 cm high by 23 cm wide and 23 cm deep, the tables share a compact freestanding form suited for placement at the end of a sofa in a gentleman's library or reception room, or as stands for vases and jardinieres.

FAQs

Qing Dynasty furniture is recognised for its detailed wood carving, substantial proportions, and the prominent use of dense tropical hardwoods such as huali and zitan.

Craftsmen utilised tropical hardwoods assembled with complex mortise and tenon joinery, avoiding metal fasteners to allow the timber to expand and contract naturally with seasonal humidity.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved joinery, floating panel tops within a mitred frame, organic timber grain, and natural wear patterns on the feet and stretchers.

These tables function effectively as sofa end tables, accent pedestals in an entryway, or display stands to elevate ceramics and indoor greenery.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically while keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and excessive sunlight.
