View AllEarly 18th Century Japanned Double Corner Cabinet
Located in Lymington, GB
A rare chinoiserie standing double corner cabinet, or cupboard.
English, George I-period, ca 1720.
Often erroneously referred to as lacquer work, this is japanned. Beautifully decorated with idyllic scenes of rockwork, pagodas, people, trees, birds, water, with bridges and a boat.
This is a lovely and very useful addition to a room - where corners can present furnishing dilemmas - and this is a chic antique drinks cabinet. These have always been very hard to find, as opposed to the more usual Georgian hanging corner cupboards...

Early-18th Century Red Japanned Corner Cabinet Cupboard
Located in Lymington, GB
An English early-eighteenth century red japanned bow-front corner cupboard, or cabinet, George II-period, circa 1730.
In superb condition throughout.
Retaining its original butterfly hinges, with a period key and working lock.
These are usually encountered with a black background, however when in red these examples of japanning are much sought after. Many were produced domestically, often by talented female members of the family.
Note the charming English interpretations in the decorated surfaces.
An unusual subject can be seen in the base, a hunter on horseback with sword drawn, confronting a mythological beast, probably representing a tiger with mandarins posing amongst stylised pagodas, rooftops and rockwork.
Chinoiserie-decorated surfaces were extremely popular in the early part of the 18th century, almost reaching a craze among the upper classes wishing to demonstrate their fashionable status. There were several revivals of chinoiserie particularly in the first quarter of the 20th century, so caution is advised in one’s collecting. This type of decoration is also sometimes erroneously referred to as ''lacquer’'.
The fashion icon Coco Chanel furnished her exquisite Paris apartments largely in the European chinoiserie taste.
