Large tables are often erroneously labelled as painting tables, but to be considered a true painting table, such as the present table, which measures an impressive 36 inches deep, the surface must be broad enough to accommodate a large painting and the accoutrements associated with painting or calligraphy, such as ink, ink stones, brushes, water pots, brush rests and washers. Tables of this large size would also be ideal for the appreciation of a painting.
