This table features a flat top with upturned flanges, a narrow drawer at the top, and two central drawers flanked by two cabinet doors.

The entire front is richly carved with elaborate floral scrolls, dragons, and phoenixes—a classic Chinese motif representing harmony, prosperity, and auspiciousness ("Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness").

The wood features a rich, deep reddish-brown tone with beautiful, visible grain. The brass hardware (hinges and pulls) shows a lovely natural patina.

This piece is perfectly sized to be used as an altar table, a display stand, a small console table, or a sophisticated side table in an Asian-inspired or eclectic interior. See less
