Lot Essay

The trestle-legs of the present table support a solid plank top of deep amber color and richly textured grain. The elegantly tapering legs belie the robust construction required to support the substantial weight of this solid and thick panel. The present table is further distinguished by the elegantly carved spandrels, featuring beaded openwork and comma-form decorative elements. 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. Another related huanghuali trestle-leg table with stylized ruyi-form spandrels was sold at Christie’s New York, 9 December 2020, lot 158.
