...cannot be denied.
The wood. It tells a story. The structure, tells a story. Whether a simple "wine table" or a table with carved spandrels and "everted ends"....the latter to serve the purpose of keeping rolled out scrolls from falling off the ends.
The Chinese craftsman have a gift in preserving the history of these treasures, by accenting the patina with a hand rubbed wax finish, which serves each piece so well.
Hope you enjoy these works of art as I do....AND should one of these one of a kind pieces be of interest to you, do note that the featured consoles are on sale with a 20% discount, on top of free shipping.
You know who to call should you want one.
