- hardwood
well-proportioned, the rectangular top made of two boards and supported on a constricted waist, all above a straight apron moulded with stylised ruyi-shaped edges and angular scroll 'feet', the sides of the top bordered with a band comprising interlinked wan symbols, above archaistic geometric designs including petal lappets and mythical beast masks encircling the waist, the protruding apron intricately carved in varying levels of relief with ferocious dragons with scaly bodies writhing sinuously amidst ruyi-shaped clouds, the square-section legs each terminating in a palmette leaf at the bottom
Condition
As visible in the catalogue photo, the colour and patina of the table top is different to the waist and legs. It is possible that the table is a composite of two different pieces, assembled in antiquity. The upper table top has a particularly attractive rich purplish-brown There are markings and scratches to the top of the table. Age cracks and shrinkage throughout.
