Description
A PAIR OF CHINESE 'HUANGHUALI' AND MIXED HARDWOOD SIDE TABLES (TIAOZHUO)
QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY
each with a rectangular floating panel set within a standard mortise and tenon molded frame, supported by three transverse stretchers, the short recessed waist surmounting a shaped and beaded apron, supported on four square section beaded legs terminating in hoof feet (2)
33¾ by 35½ by 17¾ in. (84.4 by 90.1 by 45.1 cm.)
Although often made in pairs, it is rare to find a surviving example. The present pair is also unusual for its shaped apron without arched stretchers below. However, this simple, elegant form was one of the most successful among classical Chinese furniture and therefore prone to slight variation; waisted and waistless examples, those with and without stretchers, and both square and side tables.
