Very rare 17-18th century Bai wood Ming style wider bench with bamboo slats on the top for seat; rounded construction with round legs. While most of the Chinese benches made with bamboo slats were made in the early 20th century, the earlier ones such as this one are hard to come by with the perfect wood and proportion from where it was made and of the period. The body of the bench is lightly refinished in a matte lacquer. Some replacements of old bamboo slats.
