It was listed by Lee Wright Antiques & Interiors Ltd. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Lee Wright Antiques & Interiors Ltd has dated this Chinese Export Lacquer Table to the 19th Century.
The frieze has a concealed drawer which is internally divided and would have been used to store gaming counters and pieces when first made. This model of table is typical of the designs of firms such as Gillows produced c.1825. The top is decorated with a large landscape incorporating mountains, foliage, a pagoda and houses on a series of islands divided by wide rivers being traversed by a variety of shipping. When opened, the top is decorated with a fine black and gold lacquer chess board, enclosed in repeating Greek key borders and an additional floral guard border.
The lacquer on the frieze and drawer front is particularly fine, depicting another landscape with fences, buildings and foliage. The foliate lacquer work also continues down the supporting columns and on to the platform base and legs.
