About the Item
Dated to the mid-19th century, this grand daybed features a woven rattan top set within a richly aged elmwood frame. The low daybed is supported by four short cabriole legs that curve outwards with an elegant flourish. Each leg is decorated by a simple carved leaf motif and trimmed by a beaded edge that runs the length of the table apron. Known as "ta," this style of low-lying daybed was used throughout the courtyard home as a portable surface for reclining, playing games, and gathering for food and drink.

Chinese Low Daybed Step, c. 1900

Qing Dynasty Elm Lohan Bed Coffee Table with Hand-Woven Rattan Top
Located in Yonkers, NY
An antique Chinese Qing Dynasty period elm wood coffee table from the early 20th century, with hand-woven rattan top inset, square legs, open apron and pillar strut motifs. Created in China during the late Qing Dynasty period, this coffee table was originally made from a cut down Lohan bed, also called an opium smokers' bed. The table showcases a rectangular top with hand-woven rattan inset and slightly tapering edges, sitting above an open apron accented with a regular rhythm of pillar strut style motifs. It is raised on four sturdy square-shaped legs giving great stability to the ensemble. The design is the same on all sides, the table will be able to float in a room and be seen from all angles. We review all of our pieces and address issues we may find before they leave for your home; however, this is an antique piece, and as such it will keep its character and some imperfections, which is the quintessence of antique and vintage furniture. With its clean lines and warm brown patina, this Chinese Qing Dynasty elm wood and rattan coffee table...
