Condition
The table is in overall good condition. There are filled gaps to either side of the top board due to slight shrinkage. It is possible that some of the struts are later replacements. As expected, there has been general consolidation to the joinery and the surface has appropriate wear. Please note that this lot will require a CITES permit for export outside of the United States.

The design of the present lot is inspired by nature and archaism, its softy rounded edges imitating the bamboo or cane furniture seen in Song Dynasty painting. The use of a rare and expensive hardwood in imitation of a humbler material speaks to the high-minded refinement expected of a Ming scholar. For further discussion see Ronald Longsdorf, "Chinese Bamboo Furniture, Its History and Influence on Hardwood Furniture Design", Orientations, January 1994, pp. 76-83.
