Description
DeepL TranslateShanxi, circa 1900
This Chinese antique table dates to around the beginning of the last century and originates from Shanxi province. Crafted from solid elm wood, the table has traces of its original black finish and a calm, with clean lines and a well-balanced silhouette that reflects the functional elegance of late Qing dynasty furniture.
The wide rectangular top shows a beautifully time-worn surface, with softened edges, subtle undulations and a gently faded tone developed through decades of use. The natural grain of the wood is clearly visible beneath the patina, giving the surface warmth and depth. Below, the table incorporates a thoughtful arrangement of drawers and a central cupboard, each fitted with simple iron ring pulls. These understated fittings complement the table’s honest construction and add a tactile, utilitarian character. The legs are sturdy and straight, providing a strong sense of grounding while keeping the overall look refined and uncluttered.
Originally used as a working table or household storage piece, this antique table adapts effortlessly to modern interiors. Today it could serve as a console table in a hallway, offering practical drawer space for everyday items, or as a sideboard in a dining or living room. Its generous top also makes it ideal as a display surface for lamps, ceramics or books. With its authentic patina and quiet elegance, this Shanxi table brings history, texture and timeless functionality into contemporary living spaces.
