This rare narrow kang table would typically have sat on a large bed, platform, or table. Compare a long huanghuali kang table with everted flanges illustrated in R. H. Ellsworth, et al., Chinese Furniture: One Hundred Examples from the Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection, New York, 1996, pp. 114-5, no. 37. In the same collection, compare, also, a huanghuali rectangular table with everted flanges and ruyi cloud-form cutaway panels between the trestle legs in a style strikingly similar to the present example, but of larger dimensions, op. cit., pp. 174-5, no. 66.
