About this product
Oriental Hardwood 19th Century Rectangular Coffee Table
Many items were produced in China for the western market from early in the 19th century and beyond. These items are commonly referred to now as having been made for the Chinese Export market and the most prolifically found of these items tend to be coffee tables, opium tables, nests of tables and to a slightly lesser extent altar type side tables.
One of the reasons these types of items prove so popular in the modern worlds is because it is of course very difficult to find genuine european antique 18th and 19th century items of furniture which would suit as a modern day coffee table, as they simply didn’t make, or use low tables in europe during antique times.
