FINE ANTIQUE CHINESE ORIENTAL NARROW CONSOLE HALL SERVING PAINTING ALTAR TABLE

A Fine Antique Chinese Altar or Painting Table(please note, the large Japanese silk embroidered panels have now sold. The bronze vases are available separately - please see other listings!)A beautiful and fine example of a carved hardwood altar table, hand-crafted during the late Qing Dynasty (c.1880).The rectangular top consists of a fine single plank, enclosed by cleated ends and moulded sides. This is set above a carved frieze of fluid, scrolling foliate design, interspersed with fruiting peach boughs. Raised on partially carved legs, the stretchers inset with 'fish belly' framed mouldings. The feet finely detailed with greek key motifs and further tightly carved whorls to the cross-members.This really is a superb example of its type, coming to me from a fine period Cotswold property where it had been carefully looked after for some 40 years by the previous owner. A standout decorator's piece which would make beautiful statement in a hallway, passageway or as the centrepiece in a living room of a country property or fine town house alike. Dimensions:Approximately 210 cms wide x 45cms deep x 106 cms tall.Condition:In excellent overall condition. Superb colour, with a good patina from years of old polish. Structurally sound. The top board is good and clean with no unsightly marks. Slight wave or bend, as shown - but very acceptable.Unusually for one of these tables, the finely carved frieze, on all four sides, is entirely original and complete: free from any damage, loss or breaks.Delivery:UK Delivery (excluding islands, Ireland and highlands) £95.Collection in person (FREE) is welcome. .................................................................
