注意事项
Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~ in the catalogue. This material includes, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood. You should check the relevant customs laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to import the lot into another country. Several countries refuse to allow you to import property containing these materials, and some other countries require a licence from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. In some cases, the lot can only be shipped with an independent scientific confirmation of species and/or age, and you will need to obtain these at your own cost.

The spare, economic lines of the present table are enhanced by the unusual use of square-section members and plain, squared spandrels. The overall design is architectural, creating a strong silhouette and placing emphasis on form. Everted ends on either end of the single-panel top add a decorative flourish to this refined table.

Constructed with square-section legs, the present table is a variant of the standard recessed leg table constructed with round-section legs, and most of the tables of this type with square-section legs have cloud scroll rather than plain spandrels. An example of a huanghuali table with square-section legs and cloud scroll spandrels is illustrated by R. Jacobsen and N. Grindley in Classical Chinese Furniture in Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis, 1999, no. 41 and another also constructed in huanghuali is illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, vol.1, , Hong Kong, 2002, no. 109. The present table is made even rarer with the short everted ends.
