Early Qing Period
ZITAN TABLE WITH EVERTED FLANGES EARLY QING PERIOD

122×30×82 cm (48×11 3/4×32 1/4 in)


The side table has a rectangular top with wide everted flanges on the short sides. The straight apron is molded with beading and there are flattened 'cloud-collar' scrolls at the spandrels. The paired legs are secured with pairs of cross-braces and molded with central reeds or ribs rising from rounded leaf-panels at the bottom, just before terminating in archaistic block feet accented with tapering flanges.
The form of the present table harks back to the classic Tang dynasty style, which incorporated a box construction with continuous foot-rail stretchers, and bore elaborate flanges just above the pad feet.
