Lot Essay
The present table is distinguished by its elegant and simple design. It is unusual as tables of this size are more commonly found with stretchers or giant’s arm braces to support the structure and weight, such as a huanghuali table of similar tall waist supported by giant’s arm braces illustrated in Beyond the Screen: Chinese Furniture of the 16th and 17th Centuries, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Boston, 1996, p. 130, no. 20.
Compare to a smaller huanghuali table with a burl-inset top which also has no stretcher or giant’s arm braces, from the Museum of Classical Chinese Furniture, sold at Christie’s New York, 19 September 1996, lot 20, and sold again at Christie’s new York, 21 March 2025, lot 808.
