Zentner Collection: Antique Japanese Tansu, Asian Works of Art
An elegant and finely crafted Chinese altar table in precious huanghuali wood, renowned for its rich grain, deep honey tone, and subtle fragrance. The table's narrow and long proportions make it ideal as a scholar’s desk, hall table, or display stand.
The apron is exquisitely carved with a continuous band of auspicious emblems, including ancient Chinese coins, scrolls, and ritual vessels—symbols of prosperity, wisdom, and longevity. The restrained silhouette is paired with fine joinery, including horse-hoof feet and inward-curving legs, which reflect the refined craftsmanship typical of Ming-style furniture.
A rare and timeless piece, this huanghuali table is both decorative and functional, perfect for showcasing prized objects or as a statement in any interior.
