0.00
Very Rare Smaller Size Antique Ming Style Bai Wood Altar Table, estimated to be from the 16-17th century. This beautiful piece constructed with the perfect proportions with its beautiful design and dense silky wood came from the "golden era" of Ming Dynasty with Chinese furniture created with exceptional design, excellent joinery, often with internal complexity in structure, and a variety of rare and good wood. This piece, though with one of its legs at the back looks to have been replaced at one point, is made of southern Bai wood, a rarer type of southern Chinese cypress with a dense and silky feel when polished. This wood has a very delicate tight grain that is easily missed by the eye. It is among Chinese best wood types outside of the Rosewood hardwood family. Furniture pieces made of this wood have been dated to the Ming period when carrying the most exceptional design element, yet few examples from this period can be found or available. This piece was part of our Special Collection. Please inquire about the price for this piece.

#27338 A Very Rare 17-18th Century Jar-Zheng Hardwood Tea Table
0.00
0.00
(早清柞榛木圓腿茶几) This Very Rare 17-18th Century Ming Style Tea Table is constructed of a very rare Chinese hardwood call "Jar-Zheng Mu, 柞榛木". "Mu" is "Wood". It is a very dense wood almost like shining rock when hand-polished without applying a lacquer finish to it. Its original raw wood has an obvious green hue to it, and as the furniture aged, the wood turned into an almost dark gray-brown color with large swashes of light beige color in the wood. At old days, furniture made of this wood were much prized by the Shanghai area antique dealers and often only a few examples of the old pieces could be found in the more prominent antique stores. Furniture made of this wood tended to carry the traditional Ming style design and look, with many from the mid Qing period and also the reproduced Ming style pieces. Occasionally a few from the early Qing or Ming could be found in which case they seemed to carry the similar structure of the early period furniture pieces. This tea table is generously built with good material with thick rounded posts without decoration or unnecessary parts. Its clean design resembles those of early furniture pieces as well. The middle shelf is handy. There are some stains. Otherwise, the furniture itself is structurally intact with the moisture-worn feet that carry the characteristics of very old furniture pieces. There has been more publication published in recent years in China in regards to the research of furniture pieces made of this wood with more examples can be seen now. However, old furniure pieces made of this wood remain very rare.
