Chinese Qing Dynasty Shanxi Province Cypress and Pine Drawing Table tapestries The drip pan is finishedDETAILS Hand fashioned with a plank top over two drawers, this antique Chinese table features cloud form spandrels beneath the top and the drawers; the motif echoed on the drawer fronts and corresponding panels on the back.
