 Each week we highlight a new and interesting
piece of antique Chinese furniture!
Table
This small heavy carved black alter table with dragons
carving would be perfect as a center piece of another tall consol
table with simpler lines. This table could be ideal as a small
coffee table or side table for putting different decorative
items like candles or plates of potpourri. Also, ideal as an
extravagant stand for porcelain vases or sculptures.
