Vintage carved resin side table with glass top and mythical creature base.

This side table is often referred to as an opium table or a display table, featuring intricate carvings beneath a glass top. Such tables were popular in the mid-20th century, particularly those with Asian-inspired motifs, and were often made from resin or composite materials to mimic more expensive carved ivory or bone. The detailed relief work, depicting scenes of chariots and mythological figures, is characteristic of decorative arts from this period, aiming for an exotic and ornate aesthetic.

These types of tables were frequently produced in East Asian countries, especially China, and exported to Western markets. The base, with its stacked mythical creatures and figures, adds to the table's elaborate and somewhat theatrical design. This table is a collectible and has value due to their craftsmanship and decorative appeal, often serving as conversation pieces or accent furniture.
