19th Century French Wooden Chinoiserie Table

The exquisite craftsmanship on display makes this antique wooden table a find to treasure. Built in France in the 1800s, the design reflects the Chinoiserie aesthetic in vogue at the time, which took inspiration from the art and artisanship of China and Japan. The circular tabletop presents an intricate natural scene, with trees, plants, colorful flowers and birds beautifully depicted in mother-of-pearl inlay. Inlayed details also decorate the graceful central pillar, square base, and even the scrolled feet, bringing enchantment to every inch of the composition. The black lacquered finish of the wood provides a striking backdrop for the delicate ornament, allowing the iridescent colors to shine.
