The organic form of this rootwood side table would have appealed to the refined tastes of Ming and Qing dynasty literati, who favored natural formations with sinuous contours and wild, untamed beauty. The low table follows the gnarled roots of an old tree stump, minimally worked to enhance its sculptural shape and preserve the unpredictable movement of the wood grain. Turbulent currents swirl within the wood, marked with knots, burls and splits that only add to the table’s incredible character. Additional Dimensions: Seat: 15"W x 15"D
