Such pieces of furniture are characterized by a black lacquerware finish, decorated with delicate gilded tendrils and contours. The lower part of the legs is gracefully curved and often ends in stylized dragon claws or gilded paws. The furniture is characterized by openwork, lyre-shaped or tendril-shaped side bracing, which allows tables of different sizes to slide perfectly into each other, saving space.
