Lot Essay

For dining, writing, appreciating antiques, or playing games, the square table is one of the most versatile forms in Chinese furniture. The humpback stretchers provide added strength while lightening the overall appearance, and not interfering with the knees of the sitters. A huanghuali square table with cusped, beaded aprons and carved with confronted chilong was sold at Christie’s New York, 25 September 2020, lot 1646. A huanghuali square table with plain, beaded edges and supported by 'giant's arm' braces was sold at The Marie Theresa L. Virata Collection of Asian Art: A Family Legacy, Christie's New York, 16 March 2017, lot 605.
