Its generous proportions now make it an exceptional dining centrepiece, seating eight with ease. The wood's natural patina reveals warm tones beneath the original dark finish, showcasing the distinctive grain characteristic of northern Chinese elm. Designed in the Ming dynasty style, it features a refined waisted top supported by curved S-shaped braces—known as 'bawangcheng' or giant's arm braces—and tapers to traditional horse hoof feet. Pair with antique Yoke-Back chairs or benches to create an authentic, curated aesthetic that brings centuries of craftsmanship into your home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kayu Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56796052324732,"sku":"ATC-TA-2591021","price":5245.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/8165\/5429\/files\/ATC-TA-2591021a.jpg?v=1779292932","url":"https:\/\/kayuhome.co.uk\/products\/ming-style-antique-elm-painting-table","provider":"Kayu Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
