About this product
Much larger than the more commonly seen opium tables which use their curved ends to stand on rather than actual legs this coffee table has been produced around the mid-19th century in China specifically to be shipped to the western markets. These days it will perfectly serve the purpose which very few other types of genuinely antique furniture can, in that it is about the right height to be used as a coffee table in modern interiors. Also, the fact it is constructed from extremely dense and hard-wearing oriental hardwood, coupled with a marble inset top means that it is not easily damaged by spilt, or hot, drinks.
