Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1890s:
Mitred frame with floating burr panel: standard late Qing cabinetmaking.
Hand-carved pierced apron: individually cut relief work rather than machine moulding.

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.

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 late nineteenth-century Chinese occasional side table belongs to the Qing Dynasty period, manufactured in China around 1880. Made from heavy quality hongmu rosewood timber with a rich dark brown colour and waxed finish, the piece features an inset burr thuya-wood or root-wood panel top bordered by a well-carved edge and a pierced relief-carved apron. Three reticulated spandrel brackets support the rectangular top above a turned pedestal column with lobed bulbous sections. The structure terminates in three swept legs decorated with carving and incised details that rest upon stylised carved claw feet. Measuring 74.9 cm high, 43.2 cm width, and 38.1 cm depth, this compact occasional table serves effectively in a gentleman's library or acts as a display surface within an empty corner of a home today.

FAQs

Late 19th-century Chinese export tripod tables typically combine traditional Asian joinery and ornate relief carving with Western-influenced functional forms, such as the three-legged pedestal support.

Dense hardwoods such as Hongmu, Zitan, and rosewood were commonly utilised due to their tight grain, which allowed craftsmen to carve intricate details without splitting the timber.

Authentic pieces feature traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, hand-carved relief work with slight variations in detail, natural wear around the feet and base, and heavy dense hardwoods.

Position the table as a focal accent piece alongside minimalist seating, or use it to display decorative ceramics or indoor greenery within a layered, eclectic room scheme.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly along the grain; avoid placement near direct heat sources or in fluctuating humidity.
