Dating back approximately 150 years, this elm coffee table is defined by its low proportions, softened edges and timeworn surface. Its quiet presence and honest construction reflect generations of use, making it a striking yet understated centrepiece.

Originally crafted in rural China, tables of this form were traditionally used as low platforms for daily activities such as dining, tea preparation or communal gatherings. Made to sit close to the ground, they suited traditional interiors where floor-level living was common. Over time, the elm developed its distinctive patina through constant handling, movement and exposure, resulting in the surface texture and depth seen today.
