This low rectangular coffee table originates from the 1900 period in a traditional Chinese style. Constructed from wood with a lacquered finish in black, the piece presents inward-curved legs, hand-painted floral motifs, and corner apron details. The black lacquer and gilt floral decoration is heavily worn, with an inset glass top completing the surface. Measuring 25 cm high, 97 cm wide, and 40 cm deep, the table functions as a coffee table in a living room or reception area. Positioned in a contemporary home, this low-profile silhouette supports everyday use in front of a sofa or seating arrangement for holding books or decorative items. The compact height suits casual lounging spaces, adding a historic decorative element to the room's interior design.

FAQs

Derived from traditional kang platforms or tea tables, these low-profile pieces served as centres for social gathering and tea service in historic Chinese households.

These tables are constructed using mortise-and-tenon joinery without metal nails, finished with multiple coats of natural tree-sap lacquer and decorated with mineral pigments.

Authentic examples exhibit age-related lacquer craquelure, subtle surface wear around painted details, hand-carved joinery, and traditional leg forms such as inward-curving feet.

Place the table as a focal point in a contemporary living area, pairing its dark lacquered tone with textured neutral upholstery and minimalist ceramics.

Keep the item away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth while avoiding harsh solvents or excess water.
