Those of us who are more knowledgeable tend to casually throw around terms like “wine table” without really taking the time to explain what terms like this actually mean. This video starts to address that. It traces the history of the wine table, a unique form of Chinese antique furniture. Starting from its origins hidden away in the depths of ancient tombs, you will discover how it was used over a 1000 years ago, and see its popularity in later dynasties. Using both ancient books, colorized historical photographs and examples from present day, you learn to identify the main features, and how to distinguish and recognize it from other similar forms of Chinese furniture.
