With no stretchers or spandrels to interrupt its clean lines, this 19th-century sword table forms one beautiful, continuous ribbon. The low, plank-top table was constructed of Chinese walnut (hetao) using concealed mortise-and-tenon joinery for a seamless silhouette. Placed atop a kang platform, this minimal table form was used as a study desk or a resting place for one's sword or musical instrument. The table's original black lacquer finish has aged beautifully over the years, resulting in softened edges and a fantastic crackled texture.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
