Qing Dining Table, Warm Elm w120 the red would once haveMade from solid reclaimed elm wood, this gorgeous dining table is in our rich, warm elm finish to show the beautiful grain of the wood. The design is based on pieces from China's Qing dynasty, which tended to be more ornate than earlier Ming furniture. It has a central section that can be easily removed, allowing it be extended as required to comfortably seat either six or eight diners. The lovely carved detail around the apron is created by hand,
