Crafted of northern elmwood in China's Shanxi province, this 19th century provincial table chest mixes simple Qing-dynasty forms with subtle ornamentation. Featuring a floating panel top and a single drawer with brass pulls, the table has a rustic feel with round legs, minimally shaped spandrels, and finely beaded carved details. The table's original lacquer finish has aged with a fantastic crackle, giving the piece a crazed texture with rich character.
