A superb quality Chinese solid rosewood centre table, circa 1890. Made with a one-piece figured top with a moulded edge, the frieze below is decorated in the finest mother of pearl inlay. In this are four Chinese messages of good luck with scenes of birds and foliage. Below is a solid turned base with three stylised dragon carved legs. The table is of great quality and all original with excellent colour and patination.
The four messages on the table read the following-
Happy Brow.
Flowers bloom, wealth and bamboo report peace.
Rich as East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan.
Steadily rising.
