Very rare and beautiful 17-18th century antique Bai wood Ming style wider bench with bamboo slats on the top for the seat; all rounded construction with rounded legs. While most of the Chinese benches made with bamboo slats were made in the early 20th century, the earlier ones such as this one are hard to come by with the perfect wood and its superior classical design with extremely elegant proportions from the period. This bench is very well constructed and will last for many years to come because of its fine craftsmanship and superb joinery construction that are evident form the earlier pieces. The body of the bench is lightly refinished in a beautiful and soft matte lacquer finish that is like silk to the eyes. Some replacements of old bamboo slats.

Dimensions: 65" x 19 1/4" D x 19"H
