The profile of this simple and elegant recessed leg table resembles the Chinese character for the number one written as a single horizontal stroke. Made of jumu, or southern elm wood, it features masterful mortise-and-tenon joinery. Jumu is treasured in its native southern China for its density and fine grain. A table of this form may have originally been used for reading scrolls, making offerings or simply as a place in the early 19th century Chinese home on which a vase with flowers or other decorative objects were displayed.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
