not huanghuali. Looks like Baker copy of Chinese furniture. C. 1950-60's

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

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.

Might be old, but soft wood furniture can be difficult to tell the age because it is easier to make look old (distress).

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.

Apologies, I looked at the extra images and I must correct this.
This table has a longyan top within yumu frame on Hetaomu base. This can only mean it is made of components from three pieces of furniture.
