History:
China’s root carving tradition dates far back to the Warring States period, over 2000 years ago. This tea/coffee/display table called “Chaji” by Chinese can be associated as early as the late Ming Dynasty,17th century. Traditional tea tables were often placed between two chairs and sometimes doubled as incense stands. By the 20th century, China’s entrepreneurial furniture makers began crafting more exotic tea and coffee tables and chairs from singular huge roots- some reaching ten feet in diameter. This superb example is among the best work of art to come out of a Fujian family workshop and the private collection of the president of the shop.. in many decades. It is carved from a huge, exotic golden camphor tree root and wood found on the border with Myanmar. The original uncut tree root from which this was fashioned purportedly measured over 10 feet tall!
