Pair of Chinese Qing Dynasty Elmwood Side Tables, Late 19th Century

This matched pair of late-19th-century Qing dynasty side tables is crafted from elmwood with warm honey-brown color and visible grain. Square tops rest above clean aprons and straight legs joined by stretchers, with exposed joinery reflecting traditional Chinese construction.Subtle variations in surface, tone and texture record their age without distracting from the restrained design. Versatile in scale, the tables can serve as lamp tables, nightstands or compact accents in either traditional or contemporary rooms.
