An antique elm wood side table from the early 20th century, featuring a humpbacked stretcher, rich wood grain, and cylindrical legs. Created in China during the later years of the Qing Dynasty, this square table displays a well-proportioned top with a central panel and gently rounded edges, the surface enhanced by the warm patina and character of the elmwood.Below, a continuous humpbacked stretcher wraps around all four sides, offering both structural stability and a sense of rhythm in the design. The table rests on four slightly splaying cylindrical legs, their simple form emphasizing the understated elegance of the piece.With its clean lines and timeless construction, this versatile table can serve as a side table, drinks stand, or low stool, making it adaptable to many settings. Its natural finish and subtle detailing lend it a refined presence, suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Currently, two tables are available, priced and sold individually, allowing them to be paired together or used separately to complement different spaces within the home.
