Product Description

Adorn your foyer, living room or bedroom with the regal brilliance of this elegant handcrafted aspen wood end table, finished in smooth black lacquer and ornamented with resplendent golden flourishes. The pull-out drawer is lavishly embellished with images of ancient Imperial Chinese seals, while the smooth top surface is adorned with faux-watercolor depictions of a blossoming tree peony. The golden background is created through color-plating using the "jin gui pai" or "golden turtle armor" method, a traditional technique dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.). "Tong fen," or bronze powder, is added to the paint to provide extra gleam and the surface is then lacquered in place, creating a lustrous finish. Intricate gold bordering embellishes the front and back of the frame, making this end table a pleasure to look at from any angle while smoothly hand-carved ornamental finials add a classic Oriental touch. This creation is an ideal storage place for keys, books, and other important sundries, and can also double as an end table or display stand for flower vases and picture frames. Functional and highly unique, this exotic end table is sure to become a cherished addition to your decor. Measures 31 inches high x 25 inches wide x 13 inches long.
