Furniture adorned with archaistic elements including stylized chilong and archaistic scrolls, such as those found on the present lot, gained popularity during the middle Qing dynasty, and production of this type continued well into the 19th century. Compare the carving on the aprons and legs of a zitan corner-leg table dated mid-18th to mid-19th century, illustrated in the catalogue, Zitan: The Most Noble Hardwood, My Humble House Publications, Taipei, 1996, p. 81.
