Chinese Low Table For Sale on 1stDibs

Find many varieties of an authentic Chinese low table available at 1stDibs. A Chinese low table — often made from wood, hardwood and elm — can elevate any home. Find 769 options for an antique or vintage Chinese low table now, or shop our selection of 22 modern versions for a more contemporary example of this long-cherished piece. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer Chinese low table, there are earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. A Chinese low table is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in mid-century modern, Art Deco and modern styles are sought with frequency. Many designers have produced at least one well-made Chinese low table over the years, but those crafted by Audo, Norm Architects and André Fu are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much is a Chinese Low Table?

The average selling price for a Chinese low table at 1stDibs is $2,726, while they’re typically $40 on the low end and $120,000 for the highest priced.

Finding the Right Tables for You

The right vintage, new or antique tables can help make any space in your home stand out.

Over the years, the variety of tables available to us, as well as our specific needs for said tables, has broadened. Today, with all manner of these must-have furnishings differing in shape, material and style, any dining room table can shine just as brightly as the guests who gather around it.

Remember, when shopping for a dining table, it must fit your dining area, and you need to account for space around the table too — think outside the box, as an oval dining table may work for tighter spaces. Alternatively, if you’ve got the room, a Regency-style dining table can elevate any formal occasion at mealtime.

Innovative furniture makers and designers have also redefined what a table can be. Whether it’s an unconventional Ping-Pong table, a brass side table to display your treasured collectibles or a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk to add an air of nostalgia to your loft, your table can say a lot about you.

The visionary work of French designer Xavier Lavergne, for example, includes tables that draw on the forms of celestial bodies as often as they do aquatic creatures or fossils. Elsewhere, Italian architect Gae Aulenti, who looked to Roman architecture in crafting her stately Jumbo coffee table, created clever glass-topped mobile coffee tables that move on bicycle tires or sculpted wood wheels for Fontana Arte. 

Coffee and cocktail tables can serve as a room’s centerpiece with attention-grabbing details and colors. Glass varieties will keep your hardwood flooring and dazzling area rugs on display, while a marble or stone coffee table in a modern interior can showcase your prized art books and decorative objects. A unique vintage desk or writing table can bring sophistication and even a bit of spice to your work life. 

No matter your desired form or function, a quality table for your living space is a sound investment. On 1stDibs, browse a collection of vintage, new and antique bedside tables, mid-century end tables and more .

Questions About Chinese Low Table
  • What are low tables called?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    Low tables are usually called coffee tables. The name comes from the table height being designed to make it easy to place something, such as a cup of coffee, on the tabletop while seated on a sofa. Alternatively, people may refer to these low tables as cocktail tables. Explore a wide variety of coffee tables on 1stDibs.
  • Can a coffee table be too low?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    Yes, a coffee table can be too low. Most experts recommend choosing a coffee table that is around one to two inches lower than the seat height of your sofa or loveseat. You may find it difficult to access items on the tabletop while seated if you choose a shorter table. In addition, an overly low coffee table can make a room feel cramped or unbalanced. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Sometimes, designers intentionally place ultra-low coffee tables in spaces to create a bold contrast in a large room. Feel free to break from convention when choosing a coffee table. What's most important is that the finished result appeals to you and allows you to enjoy your seating area to the fullest. Shop a wide range of antique, vintage and contemporary coffee tables on 1stDibs.
  • Why are console tables so low?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Console tables are not low. Typically, consoles are about the height of a desk but are much narrower. As a result, they work well against walls and can be used to hold lamps and decorative objects. While modern console tables commonly feature four legs, you can still find the two-legged variety, which is ideal for nestling behind the sofa. Some also feature shelves for display and storage space or cabinet doors and drawers for hiding clutter. Find vintage console tables on 1stDibs.
  • Why are Japanese dining tables low?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The chabudai, or the short Japanese dining table makes the most of limited space by serving many functions in a Japanese home. They often feature collapsible legs so they can be stored. Diners sit on pillows on the floor, rather than chairs, again freeing up more space by not having bulky chairs. Shop a collection of Japanese furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • Why are modern coffee tables so low?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Modern coffee tables tend to be low because they’re most commonly placed in front of couches and chairs. Historically, coffee tables were placed behind the couch which necessitated a taller table. Over time, as styles changed and coffee tables came to be positioned in front of couches, their heights were lowered to accommodate the modern arrangement. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage and contemporary coffee tables from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • What is a Chinese kang table?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    A Chinese kang table is a long, low piece of furniture that has a flat surface and rests on four legs. It multitasks as both a dining table and a bed. On 1stDibs, find a variety of kang tables from some of the world's top sellers.
  • What is a Chinese tea table?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A Chinese tea table is a piece of furniture traditionally used in China for preparing and serving tea. It usually held a pump for drawing water and a basin for washing teacups and pots. The top doubled as a surface for resting teacups in between sips. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Chinese tea tables.
  • Is 12 inches too low for a coffee table?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    No, 12 inches isn’t necessarily too low for a coffee table. For balance, choose a coffee table that is about two to four inches lower than the seat of the largest piece of furniture around it. Usually, this will be the sofa. If your sofa’s seat is 14 to 16 inches high, a 12-inch coffee table will likely be in proportion. Find an assortment of coffee tables on 1stDibs.
