Scholar’s tables are work tables used by Chinese literati painters and calligraphers.
These are two attractive tables with reddish brown finish and highly decorative carvings of geometric and floral patterns.

Both tables are finished from both sides, special carvings are repeated on the front and back side. Having both sides finished indicates that those tables were crafted for use for a person of some importance.
