Console Table with Cusped Apron

Handcrafted of northern elmwood over a century ago, this simple console table expresses the clean lines and elegant restraint that make Qing-dynasty carpentry so sought after. Emphasizing the table's refined form, a simple cusped apron flows into spandrels marked by carved ruyi symbols, emblems of longevity and immortality. Layers of dark lacquer coat the surface for a rustic finish with fantastic character.
