Early 20th century Chinese style table

Content Description

Table made of teak wood with a black finish. Intricately carved with iris and lotus flowers and a Greek key fret patterned border on the top. 40" by 30" at widest part on the top. Cabriole legs with claw-and-ball feet. 29" high. Under covering of a reddish stain. Ornamental table from the early 20th century, likely specifically from 1900-1910.

According to Burke, the table was carved by Japanese craftsmen based on the Chinese furniture style.
