Ming-Style Console Table with Fretwork Glass Inserts - Solid Cherry
Annihilate the landfill, bring home a scholar's table that actually fits your entryway
This is the kind of piece that makes you look twice — a 1980s American interpretation of Ming dynasty altar table proportions, executed in solid cherry with those telltale horse-hoof feet and elegant humpback stretchers. The twin fretwork panels beneath beveled glass inserts give it visual lightness without sacrificing presence. Clean lines, warm patina, structurally sound. Minor surface wear consistent with four decades of holding mail, keys, and occasionally a very good lamp.
The D'Beetle Difference
• Authentic Ming Proportions: Horse-hoof feet, humpback stretchers, and mortise-and-tenon joinery throughout.
• Geometric Fretwork Detail: Twin recessed panels feature traditional Chinese lattice pattern beneath inset beveled glass. Adds visual interest without overwhelming a space.
• Solid Cherry Construction: Not veneer, not MDF — actual hardwood with that characteristic reddish-brown aging. Quality American manufacturing from the Chinoiserie revival era.
