"Side Table - Lacquered Wood - France - Late 19th Century "
Elegant Louis XV style cabinet with "chinoiserie" lacquer decoration – 19th century. Superb bombé Louis XV style cabinet, opening with two doors, richly decorated with lacquered panels featuring finely gilded chinoiserie motifs. The front presents a lively Asian scene: pavilions, figures in traditional dress, rocky landscapes, and stylized vegetation, all rendered with remarkable refinement. The structure is veneered in precious woods with a warm hue, adorned with high-quality chased and gilded bronze mounts: drops, sabots, frames, and rocaille motifs harmoniously accentuate the curves of the piece. The top is finished with a marble slab in soft tones, perfectly complementing the overall shape. French work from the late 19th century, inspired by the creations of the Louis XV period and the taste for Asia that was very fashionable at the time. Condition: Very good overall condition, fresh lacquer and bright gilding. A decorative piece of great elegance, ideal for a refined interior blending classic and exotic styles.
