Description

This 19th-century lacquered drop-leaf table is a stunning example of fine craftsmanship and oriental-inspired design. The richly decorated surface features intricate chinoiserie scenes, hand-painted in vibrant red, gold, and black lacquer, depicting pagodas, figures, and stylised dragons.

The table stands on an elegant turned column with “birdcage” support under the top, allowing smooth rotation. The tripod base is beautifully detailed with gilt decoration and finished with carved gilded paw feet.
