| This pair of 18th century Chinese wine/side tables are from Shanxi Province in Northern China.The size is 38x19x34high.They were originally covered in black lacquer, which over time has worn away.The tables have retained 50% to 60% of their original lacquer coating.Under the lacquer,there is a thin layer of ramie cloth, which helped the lacquer adhere to the wood. The underside is coated in red cinnabar lacquer.The tables are all original with the exception of one end apron piece. One foot has been tipped.The wood appears to be walnut(Hetao mu).The style of these tables really dates back to pre-MING times. This is generally called Early Traditional Style, which persisted into the first half of the 19th century.This idea can be applied to many regional styles,but especially to SHANXI Province. Round splayed legs,simple cloud band spandrels,"sculpting" throughout and good heavy timber are all indicated. | ||||||||||
