19th Century Chinese Elm Console Table

This rectangular side table is made from solid elm wood, featuring a multi-layered, molded edge on the tabletop. The frame is supported by four circular legs and a humpbacked stretcher that incorporates a central, decoratively carved support in the shape of a stylized scroll. The piece exhibits a heavily weathered dark lacquer finish, revealing the warm natural wood grain beneath and creating a rich, textured patina. This console table adds grace and class to a hallway, entranceway, living or dining room.
