Mesua ferrea ironwood enjoys a long history in Chinese furniture. It is still found in well preserved heavy pieces and is an important material for those researching the origins of classical furniture. The texture of the ironwood used in this table suggests ripples in water. The legs drop straight down terminating in an internally turned foot characteristic of works from the 16th to the 17th century. The body is slender and the top material solid, presenting a beautifully crafted quaint and concise design. This table is representative of Ming ironwood furniture.
