The most commonly used table in a traditional Chinese home was the square center table, a versatile form that could be used for dining, entertainment, work and display. The presence of the giant’s arm’s braces eliminated the need for the more commonly seen humpback stretchers. Compare, a square huanghuali table also with giant’s arm’s braces and carved with crisply beaded edge sold at Christie’s New York, Important Chinese Furniture Formerly the Museum of Classical Chinese Furniture Collection, 19 September 1996, lot 65. Another square huanghuali example, also with giant’s arm’s braces, was in the Robert Ellsworth Collection and now at the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas City.
