Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Segmental joints on the top rim: wood movement.
Deeply pierced dragon and cloud carving: late Qing export craftsmanship.
Inset figured rouge marble slab: typical late nineteenth-century Canton work.

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 late nineteenth-century Chinese Qing Dynasty occasional table takes the form of a heavily carved and pierced hardwood hongmu side table. The dark brown piece features a round inset pink and rouge marble top with a figured grain, set within a carved gadroon edge surround above a pierced frieze. A central column support shows a coiled dragon amidst carved stylised clouds and waves, a carved column with a minor shrinkage crack, and a tripod base with three heavily carved shaped legs ending in dragon's claw feet. The densely-grained dark timber displays a well-selected mellow faded colour and patina in excellent original condition, with no cracks or damage to the inset marble top. Measuring 75 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 50 cm deep, the compact scale makes it suitable for placement in an empty corner of a gentleman's library or living room to hold a lamp or decorative object.

FAQs

Late Qing Dynasty furniture from the late nineteenth century frequently features dense relief carving, elaborate symbolic motifs such as dragons, and the integration of natural stone inlays like marble.

These tables are traditionally crafted from dense tropical hardwoods such as rosewood, zitan, or hongmu, paired with inset polished marble slabs selected for their natural cloud-like grain.

Authentic pieces exhibit traditional mortise and tenon joinery without modern screws, hand-carved sculptural details with natural wear, and stone slabs fitted into hand-cut timber rebates.

Position the piece as a focal accent in a hallway, bay window, or living room alcove, pairing dark timber tones with neutral walls and minimalist surrounding decor to highlight the woodwork.

Dust intricate carvings regularly using a soft dry brush, keep the frame away from central heating sources to prevent wood movement, and wipe marble surfaces with pH-neutral stone cleaners.
