The Ming-style cocked table does have precedents to follow, and the Minghuanghuali four-sided flat-banded cocked head table is widely imitated, and it is a variant of really reasonable compliance.
These variants are loved by people, and the collection value is not inferior to that of the orthodox Ming-style type.
The huanghuali super long table, which was sold for nearly nine million yuan at the end of last year, is also a strong proof of the cocked table type.
