About the Item

An exceptional Chinese early 19th century export lacquer cabinet on stand. Both doors are decorated with the whimsical interpretation of the 'India’ taste (aka ''chinoiserie'') so fashionable at the time, with the rare subject of figures in the sky carrying bows and arrows, astride hoho birds flying over pagodas, rockwork, trees and figures. One of the latter is playing a musical instrument, seated in a small cart being pulled along by two mythical animals in harness. Internally the hinged doors are finely decorated with an exotic bird, and a man holding a firearm, both within ogee cartouches, and opening to reveal numerous superbly-detailed lacquered fitted drawers. The fine mounts are all engraved and original throughout. Retaining period steel key, the original lock and bolts. The sides are well decorated with Chinese rockwork, pagodas and a huntsman with his bow and arrow. The whole chinoiserie antique (sometimes referred to as lacquer) is raised on the original stand with open-fretwork gilt brackets. In excellent, almost entirely original condition, retaining soft rich colors throughout.

Early 18th Century Coromandel Lacquer Corner Cabinet

Located in Lymington, GB

An early-18th century Coromandel lacquer corner cupboard or cabinet. This is rare - high quality Coromandel lacquer work (incised decoration) - not to be confused with the usual English japanned versions. This is also referred to as Bantam work, originating in Bantam, Dutch East Indies, and China, for export to the European market. The subject matter is of a major pavilion with numerous courtiers - most unusual to see only females - it has been suggested that they may be concubines to a Mandarin. All of high quality and in the sought-after and refined chinoiserie taste. In very good unrestored state, retaining vibrant colours and all its original hardware. This is a chic antique, and makes a lovely chinoiserie drinks cabinet...
