Lot Essay

The recessed-leg table, with legs of either square or rounded section joined by pairs of stretchers, is one of the most immediately recognizeable and successful forms found in classical Chinese furniture construction. Several variants are known, including those with and without waists, and those of varying sizes and functions, including altar tables and painting tables (see lots 2028 and 2009 respectively). Two closely related huanghuali tables, also dated to the 17th century, are illustrated by Curtis Evarts in Liang Yi Collection: Huanghuali, Hong Kong, 2007, pp. 114-15, nos. 39-40. See, also, the similar 17th century huanghuali table, although fitted with brass shoes, from the Robert H. Blumenfield Collection, sold by Christie's, New York, 22 March 2012, lot 1312.
