Lot Essay


The trestle-legs of the present table support a solid plank top of deep amber color and richly textured grain. The robust construction of the supporting legs and solid panels are required to hold this substantial weight. A similarly proportioned huanghuali trestle-leg table, also with solid panel top, is in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, illustrated in Philadelphia Museum Bulletin: Winter 1963: Chinese Furniture, Volume LVIII, Number 276, p. 71, pl. 15. A huanghuali trestle-leg table with similar carved ruyi-form spandrels was sold at Christie’s New York, 9 December 2020, lot 158.
