Lot Essay

It is rare to find a huanghuali table set with a burlwood top. Compare the present table to several known examples which were all made with huanghuali, including those illustrated in Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture, Hong Kong, 1990, vol. II, pl. B12; and in S.Y. Yip Collection of Classic Chinese Furniture, Hong Kong, 1991, pl. 35.
