This small Chinoiserie coffee table dates from the 1920 period and follows a traditional English Country House design. The piece has a wooden structure finished in black lacquer with gilt and painted decoration. The circular top displays a hand-painted landscape scene featuring cranes, trees, bridges, mountains, buildings, and human characters in gold, yellow, red, and green tones. The low table is supported by Queen Anne style cabriole legs with pad feet, further accented with painted and gilded details along the top of each leg, alongside minor rubs and surface bruises consistent with age and regular use. The table measures 40 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 61 cm deep. Placed in a living room or reception area, it provides a surface for books, drinks, or decorative items while adding an Oriental-inspired accent to traditional or eclectic interiors.

FAQs

Chinoiserie refers to a European decorative style originating in the seventeenth century that incorporates Chinese and East Asian artistic motifs, techniques, and imagery into furniture and home decor.

Traditional pieces feature timber frameworks finished with multiple coats of resin varnish, often decorated with hand-painted polychrome pigments and gilded leaf artwork.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle brushwork rather than stencilled patterns, fine surface crazing in the lacquer finish, and natural age-related wear along the rim and feet.

Position the low table as a central accent piece within a seating arrangement, pairing its dark lacquered finish with neutral soft furnishings and metallic decor to balance the detailed artwork.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, keep the piece away from direct heat sources or sunlight, and wipe away spills immediately to prevent moisture damage to the lacquer finish.
