This wonderful Chinese table takes inspiration from the Ming dynasty, the pinnacle of Chinese craftsmanship. Decorated giant arm braces, classic hoof feet and concealed storage dra wers. It is made from Manchurian walnut, also known as monkey nut. This piece pays homage to classic the Chinese altar table and is perfectly suited to a hallway. Altar tables were used for ancestor worship in China. Usually, a family ancestor portrait would be hung above the table & joss sticks lit & placed on the table for the well being of the household. They were always long & narrow in form - a configuration seldom found in antique European furniture.
