Lot Essay

The presence of integral shoulders in the legs, carved to accommodate the single shelf, suggest the shelf is original. Compare a similar table with a shelf in the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Joan Biddle, illustrated by R.H. Ellsworth in Chinese Furniture: Hardwood Examples of the Ming and Early Ch'ing Dynasties, New York, 1971, p. 173, no. 72.
