Vietnam red black Console Table wood table

About the Item

Spectacular side table or console of Vietnamese origin, dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It has a curious trapezoidal shape, or faceted profile, which could indicate a ceremonial or specific purpose in the use of the piece of furniture. The intricate carving work on the wood stands out, especially on the skirt, characteristic of traditional Vietnamese craftsmanship. The carved decorative motifs seem to follow scroll patterns, common in Asian ornamentation. This type of design usually has symbolic connotations, often associated with nature, prosperity or longevity. The use of black and gold, along with red on the top, creates a dramatic contrast that highlights the sophistication of the piece of furniture. In the Vietnamese context, these colours have deep meanings: black is often a symbol of stability and power, gold is associated with wealth and fortune, and red represents good luck and happiness. This type of furniture not only had a functional purpose, but was also a status object. The intricate carvings and use of gilding suggest that it may have belonged to a wealthy family or been used in a ceremonial or religious setting. The combination of art and functionality is a characteristic feature of Asian furniture, where every detail has a purpose beyond the aesthetic. A strong influence of Chinese art is seen, as is usual in Vietnamese art and crafts, especially in the stylization of decorative motifs. Vietnam has historically been influenced by Chinese culture and art, especially during periods when the country was under Chinese rule. The lattice patterns, ornamental carvings and use of gilding on this table are reminiscent of Chinese decorative styles that can also be found on furniture from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). Its careful craftsmanship, symbolic use of colours and cultural influences make it a piece of great aesthetic and historical value. It is a reflection of Vietnam's cultural heritage and the importance of ornamentation on everyday objects. It was adquired in a French inheritance . Vietnam was colonised in the mid-19th century by the French Empire of Napoleon III and was subsequently invaded by Japanese military forces from 1941 to 1945.
