Description

A nest of three Japanese hardwood and lacquer nest of tables circa 1910

This distinctive and decorative nest of tables was made in Japan and dates to circa 1910. The simple legs and framework are finished in brown lacquer and consist of square legs with turned out feet connected with plain stretchers both at the top and bottom with shaped brackets at the top forming a frieze. The top, by contrast, is very decorative and stylish finished in lacquer with clouds of black and brown and shaded metallic gold with geometric shaped black clusters running through. In the dark sections of each top, there is a beautiful leafy stem with a single flower head worked in various shades of gold and highlighted with fine black pen work and inlays of mother of pearl. In addition, each lacquered top is hand signed with Japanese character marks. A most eye catching and different nest of very useful tables. In very good condition with very little signs of use.
Size of the largest table:
Height 69cm x width 56cm x depth 36cm
