Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Hand-hewn marks on the underside: traditional hand-tool construction.
Dark oxidation underneath: many years of exposure to the air.
Shrinkage gaps around the top panel: natural movement of the timber over time.
Softened edges and heavy wear on the top: long practical use.
Transverse braces dovetailed into the frame: traditional Chinese joinery.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This Chinese 18th Century Qing Dynasty side table displays a dark brown hardwood timber with a warm grain pattern and subtle signs of wear along the edges. The rectangular floating panel top features mitered corners, supported by a structured frame above an openwork apron with geometric rectangular compartments and four straight square legs. Visible structural details include rounded joinery mouldings and a cleated construction beneath the upper surface. The table measures 84 cm high, 90 cm wide, and 45 cm deep. It functions as a practical console table in a hallway beside the front door or as a display surface in a living room.

FAQs

Corner-leg tables, defined by legs situated directly at the four corners of the frame, represent a classical design form in traditional Chinese furniture. Popularised during the Ming and Qing dynasties, these tables feature clean linear profiles, floating panels, and subtle waist or apron details.

Craftsmen constructed these tables using dense hardwoods such as zitan, huanghuali, and chicken-wing wood, assembled using intricate mortise-and-tenon joints without nails or glue. The tabletop typically incorporates a floating panel set into a mitred frame to allow natural timber expansion.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut mortise-and-tenon joinery, subtle surface wear near footrests and stretchers, and natural oxidisation within the wood grain. Reproductions frequently show machine marks, modern adhesive residue, or metal fasteners beneath the frame.

A Chinese corner-leg table functions effectively as a console in an entrance hallway, an accent surface in a living area, or behind a sofa. Its simple architectural silhouette pairs well with contemporary wall art, modern ceramic vessels, or minimalist lighting.

Maintain hardwood tables by placing them in an environment with stable humidity levels to minimise timber movement and cracking. Clean surfaces with a soft, dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood finish.
