$8,685.00 $9,650.00
This elegant rectangular coffee or opium table, dating to circa 1940s, is a refined example of mid-century Chinese craftsmanship. The piece is made from a richly grained hardwood that appears to be rosewood—highly prized in traditional Chinese furniture for its depth of color, density, and natural luster. While the specific species is unconfirmed, the wood displays the hallmarks commonly associated with rosewood used in fine-quality furniture from the period.The paneled top features a central motif of two phoenixes rising through swirling clouds, flanked by additional cloud carvings in each corner—symbolizing rebirth, harmony, and auspicious power in Chinese mythology.The table is supported by hand-carved cabriole legs, each adorned with a dramatic dragon’s head that flows into a claw grasping a ball. Ornate cross stretchers connect the legs, featuring intricately carved dragons in pursuit of the mythical pearl of wisdom—adding dynamic storytelling and movement to the piece.Solid, heavy, and finished with a soft, lustrous sheen, this table is as functional as it is sculptural—an exceptional statement piece that reflects the artistry and symbolism of traditional Chinese design.
