Table - Wood

Square table (102 x 102 x 77), a traditional Chinese table, often called the Table of Eight Immortals (Baxianzhuo).

Main Features
Shape and proportions: It is a square table with a fairly simple and sturdy structure, indicating that it was intended for everyday use (meals, games, studying, etc.).
Material: Made from dark hardwood, possibly elm (yumu) or similar wood. The dark color is probably due to a finish or patina from age.
Table top: The surface is made of recessed planks (floating panel) within a perimeter frame, a traditional construction method that allows the wood to expand and contract with humidity without cracking the entire structure.
Legs and Bands Structure
Frame joints: The construction is a frame (open), with horizontal beams (strips) connecting the legs just below the surface.
Decorative Details: The horizontal bands feature a simple yet distinctive ornamental cut (probably a 'horse leg' shape or a stylized scroll/hook) in the central part, a typical element of Chinese classical furniture, especially of Ming or Qing styles.
Legs: The legs are straight at the top but have a slight outward curve at the bottom, ending in a shape that is sometimes described as a cloven hoof or a variant of the horse leg foot (cabriole), although here it is very squared.
