Here is an attractive example ,perhaps for slightly humbler use than the k’ang tables already shown .In the traditional setting of a household of quality ,the general arrangement was to place a well-polished table in the middle of the k’ang so that two seated people ,usually host and guest ,could share it between them ,one on each of the long sides .This example with its simple drawers belongs definitely to a less formal variety ,and might well have been used against a wall to hold small household necessities .With convebient pieces like this for needed objects ,the k’ang could be used in uncluttered comfort .
