Description

This rare Burmese teak village table, circa 1890, carries hand-painted text on its sides that roughly translates as 'Heron Water Pot Sheng Khu Tashi - Cooperative Association', once said to mark a table where village elders gathered. Opening out to eight feet with pull-out bearers and a 22 1/4 inch knee height, it functions handsomely as a dining table. The base retains its red paint well, while the top shows traces of the original decoration; expected surface marks, minor age splits and paint losses speak honestly to its rustic character.
