This tea table is a fine reproduction of the traditional tea table of Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). The beauty of Korean traditional wooden tableware lies in the grain of the wood from which it is made. For Korean carpenter, no artificial beauty can exceed the loveliness of what is natural. They prefer highlighting the material's natural patterns and forms, rather than adding artificial ornaments or colors. They shun metal nails because these 'alien' objects can damage the wood's beauty borne from the landscape, and instead, fit the parts of the work together by making grooves and holes. The result of such meticulous methods is a fine piece of tray, in which the dynamic, elegant lines and forms of nature are kept intact. Made of several sections of solid wood firmly put together without the use of any metal joints or nails, this tea table displays the delightfully simple natural beauty of wood. Read More
