Demountable trestle-leg tables, which are made to be easily disassembled to facilitate transport, are very rare and few extant examples are known. Tables of the present type tend to feature long, single-plank tops and thick members. Such tables also feature aprons with integral spandrels which are dovetail-housing joined to the trestle legs, providing added structural support.
There appear to be two types of demountable recessed trestle-leg tables. The first type, which includes the current table, exhibits straight legs which are set into shoe feet, as seen on the present table and another example sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 28 November 2012, lot 2023. The second variant has everted feet flanking raised aprons, such as the example sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 27 November 2013, lot 3571.
