Description

Regency Black Lacquer & Mother-of-Pearl Chinoiserie Tripod Table circa 1820. A decorative early 19th-century black lacquer occasional table, the circular top richly worked in the Chinoiserie taste with an extensive Oriental landscape of pagodas, figures, boats and pavilions. Details throughout the scene are picked out in mother-of-pearl and coloured shell inlay, which catches the light beautifully against the deep black lacquer ground. The top is supported on a finely turned and parcel-gilt pedestal, decorated with stylised gilt foliage, above a three-legged tripod base with further gilt penwork and scrolling ornament. The combination of black japanning, gilt decoration and shell inlay was particularly fashionable in Britain during the Regency and William IV periods, reflecting the strong contemporary fascination with Chinese and East Asian decorative arts.

Date of Manufacture

Beau Nash Bath has dated this piece to the 1800s.
