Their moderate height suited use seated on the floor or on the kang (heated platform-bed), holding offerings, books or small family treasures.<\/p>\n<p>The frame is built with blind mortise-and-tenon joinery. A dark red-black lacquer covers the wood, now worn at edges and corners, revealing the warm grain beneath. The two central doors swing on dowel pivots and close with original wrought-iron rings. The sides stay blind and low stretchers brace the base.<\/p>\n<p>The patina reaches a deep mahogany tone with the warmth of time. Wear is frank and consistent with age, with no structural losses. No invasive restoration: the piece carries its honest, rural character.<\/p>\n<p>It works as a low living-room piece, a TV stand, a tall coffee table or a console in a narrow hallway. Its low silhouette and deep lacquer blend naturally into wabi-sabi, japandi and rustic-contemporary interiors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Materials and techniques:<\/strong> Solid wood; original dark lacquer; mortise-and-tenon joinery; wrought-iron ring pulls<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place of origin:<\/strong> China<\/li>\n<li><strong>Period:<\/strong> Late Qing dynasty \/ Republican<\/li>\n<li><strong>Date of manufacture:<\/strong> Circa 1900<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> Length 95 cm &#8211; Depth 47 cm &#8211; Height 54 cm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Condition:<\/strong> Good.
