Chinese Console Table / Scroll Table in Hardwood, Circa 1900

Chinese Console Table 

A refined and elegant Chinese hardwood console table, also known as a scroll table, dating to circa 1900. With its restrained proportions, subtle curves and finely worked details, this piece embodies the understated sophistication of traditional Chinese joinery.

The rectangular top is supported on square-section legs joined by a shaped apron and stretchers, providing strength and visual rhythm. The legs terminate in classic scroll-form feet, adding a touch of decorative flourish to the otherwise minimal, architectural form. The rich, dark patina of the wood enhances its timeless appeal.

Perfect as a console, altar, or side table, it suits both traditional and contemporary interiors.
