(清代特大尺寸格式湘妃竹供桌)This impressive and very rare seven feet long antique Chinese bamboo altar table is constructed and joined together with both the bamboo pegs and tied knots. The wrapping style bent joinery at each corner of the table is an interesting one that is similar to and was possibly imitated by some of the Chinese wooden furniture pieces with the same style of joinery. The waist area underneath the wooden top panel also has the same type of construction as some of the wood furniture pieces. Old bamboo furniture pieces are extremely rare as they don't last nearly as long as the wooden furniture pieces. Few authentic antique bamboo furniture pieces can be found. This bamboo table is made of rare Xiang-Fei-Zhu bamboo (“Zhu” means bamboo) with the beautiful small natural dark spots in different shades and shapes like "tears" on the bamboo surface which creates a beautiful iridescent result with the naturally aged bamboo patina as the background. It is said to be as beautiful as the tears from the famous Chinese beauty or beauties, according to the mythology, whose tears stained the surface of the bamboo before throwing herself to the river. The word of “Xiang” also shares the same pronunciation as the word for “Hunan province” in northern China where this bamboo was also grown. Though repaired in various spots, this very long and antique bamboo "An table" made of Xiang-Fe-Zhu is extremely rare and is a major piece to represent this type of furniture. Dimensions: 37 1/2"h x 83 5/8"w x 18 3/4"d
