Bleached Provincial Table From Shanxi - 19th Century

This antique Chinese wine table dates to the 19th century and is from the provincial area of Shanxi province. It is rustic and would fit perfectly in a farmhouse. It's constructed from northern elm wood (yumu). 

Wine tables are perfect for use as lamp tables in a modern home. The style has existed in China since before the Ming dynasty but rose to prominence in the Qing dynasty. They're often depicted in Chinese paintings such as the ones in the photos. This style of table was incredibly versatile and used for serving food & wine, but also as standalone tables in the home. A wine table is usually at least as deep as it is wide whereas a half table is defined by its depth being less than half its width. Hence the names are often interchangeable.
