Xianping - Antique round coffee table in solid elm no. 2

This round coffee table is an authentic piece of Chinese rural furniture, crafted from solid elm. Such utilitarian furniture was typically found in the northern countryside of China. Its circular top, made from wide planks joined irregularly, rests on a sturdy structure composed of robust legs connected by crossbars. Each crack and knot in the wood recalls its former use, perhaps as a work or dining table in a modest home. With its raw character and natural presence, this table fits perfectly into a wabi-sabi, bohemian, or contemporary country aesthetic. It can be used as a central coffee table or as an accent piece in an organic and textured space. Dimensions: H 50cm X W 128cm X D 128cm. Material(s): Elm. Origin: China. Period: Early 20th century.
