chinese antique table

Today I helped save a table awaiting a violent death...

I knew I could fix the old fella up...

I wasnt sure what I liked about it, There was just something ....

I forgot to take a before picture but I found similar ones on web...

Its an Antique Chinese carved wood side table. The wood was lacquered in black. It is ornately carved with flowers and dragons. The top is inset would have been with red marble but this was missing. It is Early Republic circa 1900

 

Here it is..

 

Remeber my Beautiful blue Huntley & Palmers vintage biscuit tin... I knew this would come in handy..I used this in the insert
