Dated to the early 20th century, this low daybed has a timeless simplicity, featuring a woven rattan top, four square legs and an open, clean-lined apron. The frame is crafted of northern elm (yumu) using mortise-and-tenon joinery and finished with a sheer layer of dark brown lacquer and a protective clear coat. Known as "ta," this style of low-lying daybed was used throughout the courtyard home as a portable surface for reclining, playing games, and gathering for food and drink.
