Antique free standing Japanese hand carved console table or desk with bird and floral motif. The hardwood has a dark red lacquer finish (looks black) and is carved on all sides with two drawers that are accessible from both sides making this an ideal entry table. The apron and legs are pierced carved with birds, reeds and iris with a repeating geometric "Greek Key" motif bordering the top.
