Table - Wood, Marble - China

This elegant Chinese low kang table features a striking, naturally patterned square "Dali" dreamstone marble insert set into a substantial molded hardwood frame. Crafted in the classic Ming style, the table displays a beautiful rich grain, straight square legs terminating in subtle inward-turning hoof feet, and straight waist rails accented by elegant, minimalist horizontal aprons with centered decorative humps. The marble panel exhibits wonderful organic, painterly veining reminiscent of misty mountain landscapes, which was highly prized in traditional Chinese scholarly interiors.
