'.

More information

As discussed by Nancy Berliner, in a catalogue called Beyond the Screen, Chinese Furniture of the 16th and 17th Centuries, these massive tables are rare. With the social upheaval in China during the 20th Century, tables of this great size were particularly suceptible to damage. Smaller objects could easier be transported and sold.
