Low Lattice Table

Hand-carved of elmwood gathered from the forests of northern China, this 19th-century daybed would have served as a cornerstone of daily life in a provincial Chinese home, used not only for sleeping, but also for sitting, taking tea, eating, and playing board games. Featuring a slatted top, subtly modeled legs, and a low brace, the bed translates wonderfully today as a lovely cocktail table or platform for potted plants.
