Àn Table in Blackwood

A recessed-leg table from the Classical Chinese furniture tradition — 案. The legs sit inboard of the top’s edge, clamping the apron at a mitred bridle joint with a curved spandrel. Its visual lightness and slender components belie its tremendous strength. All joinery is hand-cut, and holds together without the need for glue.
