Description

With a well developed rich and warm colour to the elm, this small and original 19th Century Chinese Elm altar table has a boarded, cleated and oversailing top over two front frieze drawers and retains the original bronze drawer pulls (with sliding sections which secure the drawers).

The lowboy has a lovely shape and proportion, the drawers are flanked on either side by well carved spandrels and the whole sits firm and solid on hand carved squared and tapering legs. Original colour, original finish, the bronze hardware has developed a natural and particularly attractive patina.

The solid drawer linings are original also, clean and solid, and there is a large ‘secret’ compartment beneath drawers and the whole piece is very solid and robust, no repairs or restorations, no worm or other issues.

A beautiful Chinese altar table in a rarely seen small size, with a very lovely colour and tactile quality.

Dimensions are:

31.5 inches wide, 20.5 inches deep, 31 inches high

For metric please multiply by 2.5

FAQs

Chinese lowboy tables originated as domestic functional furniture during the Ming and Qing dynasties, often used for serving, writing, or as vanity stands in traditional households.

These pieces typically utilise native timbers such as elm or huanghuali, constructed using sophisticated traditional mortise and tenon joinery without the use of metal nails.

Authenticity is determined by evaluating the natural patina of the wood, hand-cut joinery, traditional hardware placement, and signs of age-related wear and shrinkage consistent with nineteenth-century manufacture.

An antique lowboy functions effectively as an entryway console or a media accent table, pairing well with minimalist modern decor to highlight its historical craftsmanship.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish and protect the historic wooden surface.
