Interesting mid 19th.c. Chinese elm side table c.1860. Traditional construction with a cleated border to the top with a deep moulded edge to each side. Raised on square legs with a shaped block foot. Each leg is joined to the underside of the table with unusual curved and chamfered 'giants arm' braces. Coloured lacquered finish with the grain visible, a little chipped and worn in places to reveal a red ground below. Presented as found in good condition, solid and sturdy.
