This blackwood table was the type of furniture that was found in the homes of rich Peranakans at the turn of the century in Penang. They display fine wood-working skills and decorations in the form inlaid mother-of-pearl. Even though they are distinctively Peranakan, furniture such as this, was specially made to order from China.
