Subject:Please help - dating Chinese table with special joint-work
Posted By: Anna Sat, Sep 20, 2014 IP: 80.100.218.187
Hello, Could somebody help me to get more information on this black lacquered Chinese table, please? This is Chinese square / 8 immortals / Baxian table - with special joint-work, 80cmx80cmx80cm (31.5"x31.5"x31.5").
Black lacquer over thick redbrown lacquer layer.
I felt for it because of the intricate construction (how the weight is spread) and beautiful proportions,
I'm not really sure about dating and wood.
Is it 19th century or....?
Material - is it northern elm / yumu?
Any additional info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in davance.
Best regards, Anna
