It is rare to find kang tables with this elongated proportion and supported on legs that terminate in inverted L-shaped feet. The present table compares closely in construction, design, and proportions to a huanghuali table fitted with three drawers, also dated 18th century, illustrated by N. Grindley, The Yunwai Lou Collection of Chinese and Japanese Art, New York, 2013, no. 37. Another kang table, of similar proportions and also raised on inverted L-shaped feet, but with a pierced apron and stretchers carved as archaistic scrolls, is illustrated in R. H. Ellsworth, Chinese Furniture: Hardwood Examples of the Ming and Early Ch’ing Dynasties, Hong Kong, 1979, p. 151, pl. 46 and 46a.
