Ming Style Half Table From Shanxi - Early 19th Century

This elegant antique Chinese half table is from Shanxi province and dates to the early part of the 19th century. This table is crafted from northern elm wood (yumu 榆木) which has developed a beautiful patina over time. Originally the whole table was finished with burgundy lacquer which has worn away at the top and the higher points.

 

The sophisticated brass hardware is original to the table and the squared shape is typical of many pieces dating to the earlier Ming dynasty. There is an iron hasp and staple for securing valuables inside the drawer. 

 

This is a good example of a classic Chinese half-table. Half tables (半桌 Bàn zhuō) have 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. Half tables were often made in pairs and used butting to square tables for additional space for dining. Half tables were incredibly versatile and used for serving food & wine, but also as standalone tables in the home. Note that a half table is defined by its depth being less than half its width. A wine table is usually at least as deep as it is wide. Hence the terms often being interchangeable.
