 | CT03: Low Scroll Table
CT03W150 x D50 x H48cm Although the rolled scroll design at the base of this beautiful table was more popular during China's Qing Dynasty, its simple, pure lines and flowing curves are very much in keeping with the ethos of the earlier Ming period. It works superbly as a coffee table, against a wall as a low level display table or to hold a stereo or TV. Made of reclaimed elm with a lovely warm wood or black lacquer finish. Price: 565.00

 | CT08: Scroll Altar Table
CT08W150 x D40 X H80cm This style of table may look contemporary but is in fact hundreds of years old. The rolled scroll effect at the table's feet dates from the Qing period (1644 - 1911), but this simple type of construction was developed even before the Ming Dynasty. The Chinese used these tables not only to hold offerings to ancestors but also as general display tables. Our version is hand carved from reclaimed elm and looks beautiful in a hall or reception room. Price: 465.00

 | ACW-94752: Painted Black Cabinet
ACW-94752W112 x D52 x H178cm Shanxi, circa 1800
Shanxi province in central China is well known for its furniture, particularly painted cabinets like this one which were normally finished in either red or black lacquer and decorated with flowers, landscapes and other designs. The thick layers of black lacquer on this cabinet have worn away in places and the once bright paintings of flowers have faded, leaving an understated finish. The circular lock plate is new. This would make a wonderful statement in a reception room or bedroom.

 | ATC-4645: Pair of Yoke-Back Chairs
ATC-4645W53 x D40 x H108cm Beijing, circa 1880
This pair of chairs are of a very simple design that was first seen in China hundreds of years ago. The name ‘Yoke-Back’ comes from the shape of the top headrest, and this type of chair is also often referred to as an Official’s Hat Chair, since the headrest also resembles the hats worn by Ming Dynasty mandarins. These two are made from elm and their original colour has been maintained. Only limited restoration has been carried out, giving a quite natural, ‘rustic’ finish.
In stock for delivery within 3-4 weeks. Price shown is for both chairs. Price: 550.00

 | ATC-70656: Square Table
ATC-70656W90 x D90 x H82cm Beijing, circa 1850
Square tables like this had various uses in China. They could be placed in the middle of a room with stools or benches for the family to share a meal, used for mah-jong or other games, or used in a bedroom as a dressing table. In contrast to the west, where most dining tables were rectangular or oval, the Chinese would always prefer a square shape as this made communication at the dining table easier. This example is in elm and is a fairly simple design, with humpback or ‘giant’s brace’ stretchers and rounded legs. Still great today for eating or for those evenings of mah-jong!

 | ATC-71711: Pear Wood Wine Table
ATC-71711W95 x D56 x H85cm Gansu, circa 1880
This beautiful table would once have been used to serve wine and simple food. It would most likely have been placed against a wall in the home with a chair either side. The style, with its high waist, humpback stretchers and shaped feet, was common in central Gansu. Pear wood is abundant throughout China and, because of its fine, even texture, it was often used for carvings and panels on furniture. However it is more unusual for it to have been used entirely for a piece such as this.

Made from elm, this one is in its original reddish brown colour, and includes some simple carved patterns on each apron and a scroll design on the feet.

 | ATCT-70011: Two Drawer Desk
ATCT-70011W151 x D45 x H80cm Shanxi, circa 1890
The shape and style of this piece, with its slightly splayed ‘recessed’ legs, was a very common design for wine tables from all over China. This is more unusual in that it also includes two drawers, suggesting that it may have been used as a desk. The material is elm, in common with most Shanxi furniture, and today this would make a wonderful console table.

 | ATKT-F91004: Herbalist Chest
ATKT-F91004W77 x D45 x H109cm Shanxi, circa 1940
Multi-drawer chests like this were used all over China by pharmacists to hold the herbs and other remedies used in Chinese medicine. This particular piece has a total of 30 small drawers, each divided into three sections so that it could have held up to 90 separate herbs. On the front of each drawer is a label to show the contents, read from the top in a clockwise direction to refer to the front, middle and rear sections of each drawer. Three wider drawers at the bottom were normally used to hold papers or medical instruments.
