Pair of Cream Lacquer Tea Tables d100 with the subjects usually seatedShanxi, circa 1920 This lovely pair of side tables are from Shanxi province in central China. Each one has been refinished in a distressed greenish cream lacquer, giving an updated look that would suit either period or contemporary homes. Each has a single drawer and low shelf, with legs ending in 'horse hoof' feet. They are ideal today as stands for plants or ornaments. Sold as a pair, the price is for both tables.
