Antique Indo-Chinese Carved Teak Console

This antique wooden table, likely of Chinese or East Asian origin, dates back to the late Qing Dynasty (19th–early 20th century). Crafted from solid teak wood, it features traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery for durability without the use of nails. The design includes a rectangular top with a slightly overhanging edge, sturdy straight legs, and intricately carved apron panels with scrolling motifs, embodying classic Chinese furniture aesthetics. The symmetrical cut-out designs and central drawer suggest it may have served as a scholar’s writing desk or a decorative console in a traditional Chinese home. With its weathered patina and finely hand-carved details, this piece reflects both historical significance and artisanal craftsmanship, making it a timeless addition to any collection.
