Antique Furniture |

 Each week we highlight a new and interesting
piece of antique Chinese furniture!
Tibetan
Coffee Table
This short, small square Tibetan coffee table
would be ideal for any modern decorated living room.
Especially, if the rest of the room is in one or two
tones of some yellow or green color , this item on full
display in the center of the room would make the old
appearance of your room completely changed and give
it a perfect center piece as a contrast to the rest
of the room around it.
