About the Item

A Chinese low table from the late Qing dynasty, early 20th century, featuring cabriole legs, a carved apron, and a hinged lift top. Originally conceived as a storage chest with a flat surface, this form did not exist historically as a “coffee table” in China but lends itself perfectly to modern use in that role today. The rectangular planked surface opens to reveal an interior compartment, combining decorative presence with practical storage. The apron is carved in low relief with scrolling foliage and stylized motifs, enhancing the elegance of the design. Resting on graceful cabriole legs ending in pad feet, the table balances refined carving with solid construction. The rich brown patina, softened by age and use, highlights both the natural wood grain and the depth of the carving. Versatile in scale and proportion, this late Qing Chinese table offers both history and function. It will serve as a distinctive centerpiece in a living room or study, where its decorative carvings, warm patina, and hidden storage will be equally appreciated.

Qing Dynasty 19th Century Coffee Table with Carved Apron and Dark Patina
Located in Yonkers, NY
A Chinese Qing Dynasty period coffee table from the 19th century, with carved apron and scrolling feet. Created in China during the Qing Dynasty period, this low table, which could nowadays be used as a coffee table (the Chinese didn't used coffee tables in the 19th century), features a rectangular top with central board, sitting above a beautifully carved apron. This apron is adorned with a central calligraphic motif surrounded by scrolls, animals, foliage and geometric accents. Raised on four straight legs with scrolling feet, the table boasts a dark patina.
