A pair of rectangular Southern Chinese "xuanzi" stools ( also great as a drink/side tables) are made from black wood, renowned for its rich color and heavy weight. The stools feature square legs tapering into hoof-shaped feet, connected by sturdy box stretchers for stability. Crafted in the late 1800s in Guangdong Province, these pieces reflect the elegance of Qing Dynasty furniture. Their clean lines and durable construction made them highly prized among the Cantonese elite. These stools/tables are a timeless example of Southern Chinese craftsmanship.
