Description from the seller

Vintage Asian living room coffee table from the Hong Kong period – Hand-cut solid wood with dovetail joints

A stylish and characterful coffee table, produced during the flowering period of British export from Hong Kong (circa the 1960s–1970s). This piece is a beautiful example of Asian craftsmanship specifically made for the Western market at that time.

The table features refined, hand-carved woodwork depicting classical scenes from Chinese history and mythology. The woodwork is protected by a glass top, which benefits both aesthetics and practicality.

• Craftsmanship: The table is handcrafted. A notable detail is the drawers fitted with quality dovetail joints; a mark of sturdy construction that is characteristic of better furniture from this period.
• Condition: The table is in good vintage condition, very sturdy, with the natural patina that suits the age and material.
• Material: Made from solid Asian hardwood (most likely teak).
Dimensions:
• Total: 152 cm (length) x 51 cm (depth) x 46.5 cm (height).
• Drawers (interior): 43 cm (width) x 9 cm (height).

This piece combines a decorative oriental look with the robust quality of mid-century export furniture. A beautiful showpiece for an eclectic or Asian-inspired interior.
