The waisted square table with humpbacked stretchers and horse-hoof feet derives from the design of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). The incorporation of intricately decorated curving aprons, however, was more prevalent in the 17th and 18th centuries. The current lot features the captivating grain of the huanghuali wood and a more simplified apron design. For a similar table with carved chi dragon design, see the huanghuali square table in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Gift of David and Michele Dewey 2000.268.2, which shares the same height as the current lot but has a slightly smaller top panel. Additionally, a comparable example appeared at Christie's New York, 25 September 2020, lot 1646.
