Low Table (kang zhuo) with Dragons in Clouds
A low rectangular table with a plain reddish-brown top, brass corner fittings, and a deeply pierced apron carved with dragons among clouds. Cabriole-style legs end in carved feet, standing on a plain grey ground.
Look closer: The pierced apron's dragon heads at the leg joints are carved in fine relief, easy to overlook beside the openwork.
