19th Century Lacquer Cabinet, Circa 1850

About the Item

A striking black lacquer table or jewellery cabinet, exquisitely decorated with Oriental figures and pagodas throughout. Mid-19th century. A highly desirable and sought after model. This exceptional cabinet serves as both a practical storage piece for precious jewels and objets d'art, while simultaneously standing as a masterwork of Oriental craftsmanship.

The finest establishments in London and Paris commissioned these exquisite works—including lacquerware, botanical gouaches, and reverse-painted glass—directly from Far East's master artisans for their most distinguished European clientele.
