19thc English Victorian Period Japanned and Mother of Pearl Inlaid Spectacular Workbox/table, Featuring Inlaid Cockerel Design.

19th century
Description

19th century English Victorian period Japanned (a layering technique developed in 18th century England) beautifully matched mother of pearl inlaid work table on stand, having overall stunning chinoiserie decoration of cockerels, bamboo and flowers. The rising lid reveals a fitted interior for sewing accoutrement or jewellery. Some sections are covered, while others are open. The top tray lifts out to reveal more storage below. Below that is a slide out basket with original silk bag (this is often missing from such tables).

The whole stands on carved legs and terminates on scroll supports.

The mother of pearl decoration appears on all sides, back, legs, underside of lid and on the fitted interior as well. The decoration on all sides allows it to stand in the centre of room if desired.

In complete and original very good condition. It is unlikely that you will ever see another.

Approx. 19 inches wide by 13 inches deep by 29.5 inches high.

A truly lovely and unusual piece, as well as a functional one.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1850s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
