Description from the seller

Magnificent 20th-century Chinese tea-and-coffee table.

The table is adorned with an inlay motif of mother-of-pearl and steatite depicting Chinese figures on the top, an apron with scrolls containing Chinese floral designs, and cabriole legs.

The inlaid steatite figures are remarkable for their artistic and artisanal quality.

The soapstone, with its smooth texture and ability to support intricate sculptures, was a favored material for creating decorative inlays.
