Early 20th Century Meiji Period Japanese Export Center Table with Dragons
About the Item
A powerfully carved Japanese export dragon center table, Meiji Period, early 20th century.
Made for the export market, the rectangular table features a stunning array of distinctly Japanese high relief carved dragon heads to the apron and legs. The dragon heads on the apron carved with an unusual sensitivity upon a stippled ground. The flattened faces almost leonine, with pronounced bulging foreheads and noses, deep set eyes, large horns and flowing manes. The bushy whiskers and eyebrows carved in the shape of clouds.
The elegant cabriole legs with dragon heads at the top, and terminating in scrolled feet.
The top of the table highly polished, with an unadorned center bordered by a scrolling key fret pattern. A solid, shaped stretcher underneath serves as an additional display area.
