Lee Hawkins Antiques & Interiors has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
The frieze features a single drawer centred with a painted landscape panel and fitted with its original key and tassel.
The table stands on graceful cabriole legs mounted with finely cast gilt bronze ormolu mounts and terminating in decorative sabots.
Below is a shaped under-tier also decorated with Vernis Martin style painted decoration, adding both practicality and visual balance to the piece.
Pieces of this nature draw inspiration from the celebrated Vernis Martin lacquer technique, developed in 18th-century France and widely admired for its richly coloured lacquer grounds and romantic painted scenes.
A highly decorative occasional table ideal for use as:
• a lamp table
• a bedside table
• a hallway statement piece
• or an accent table in a classical interior.
The combination of lacquer decoration, gilt bronze mounts and elegant proportions gives this piece strong decorative presence.
