Posted By: Tim Tue, Dec 22, 2015 not huanghuali. Looks like Baker copy of Chinese furniture. C. 1950-60's |

Posted By: Mike Mon, Dec 28, 2015 Hi, I believe you are mistaken. The wood shows signs of significant aging to it. It also has some old repairable. I am fairly certain it is from Ming or Qing dynasty. I have tried to upload better puctures but the image uploader is faulty. Please check out the link I put up |

Posted By: Tim Tue, Dec 29, 2015 Additional photos are very helpful. Wood appears to be jumu ( southern elm)....the type of wear that look like dents seen on the edges of the table are typical for softer woods....NOT huanghuali which is extremely hard and does not dent. |

Posted By: kirk Mon, Jan 11, 2016 It's not &^%%$y elm man, don't be ridiculous! I do agree however it's not huali wood. The carved element is typically provincial. Shanxi to be sure. It could be hetaomu, or longyanmu. Both are good; rare; and desirable wood types. It's also very likely a 17thC example. It's form is very good and rare. It is in other words regardless a very good, classic period piece, despite not being huanghuali. |
