Condition
The top panel and stretchers appear to have been later replaced with re-used huanghuali. The four legs possibly slightly reduced. Some separation of the central panel from its border. General surface wear, with some traces of re-gluing to the back of struts and some infill to cracks on upper surface. The legs have some vertical cracks and wear to all four feet. The discolouration to the underside most likely due to a layer of lacquer having been removed during restoration.

Large tables of this design with a raised flange at the ends of the top are generally called qiaotou'an or ‘raised end tables’. According to Craig Clunas in Chinese Furniture, London, 1988, p. 51, such tables were employed in secular contexts, set against walls as surfaces on which to display antiques or art objects. A 1616 edition of a woodblock illustration from the novel Jin ping mei (The Golden Lotus) shows a qiaotou'an of this type placed against a screen and used for displaying a single flower vase and other artefacts.
A table from the collection of Wang Shixiang shown with an unrolled handscroll, is illustrated in Wang Shixiang, Classic Chinese Furniture – Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, London, 1986, pl. 8, where the author notes that tables of this type are ideal for studying a long handscroll. Compare also a large huanghuali table but with a straight top but similar recessed legs as seen on the present example, known as ‘recessed leg painting table’ or pingtou'an, sold in our New York rooms, 19th and 20th March 2013, lot 466.
