Rare Queen Anne Chinoiserie Japanned Chest On Stand
About the Item
A sophisticated Queen Anne-period chinoiserie japanned chest raised on elegant cabriole legs with 'pony foot' carved detailing.
This early-18th century chest on stand demonstrates the charming and highly fashionable English domestic interpretation of oriental scenes of pagodas, rockwork, trees, ornamental bridges, mythical birds, and figures dressed in the oriental manner, holding parasols and cavorting in gardens. All in remarkable condition having survived some three hundred years. Chests on cabriole supports of this form were also very much in fashion in the American colonies during this early Queen Anne-period (1702-1714). Sometimes erroneously referred to as ‘'lacquer''.
The fashion icon Coco Chanel furnished her exquisite Paris apartments largely in the European chinoiserie taste.

There are a one or two comparable 'high chests of drawers' in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, namely: ''One of the earliest American examples of japanning, this high chest descended in the Pickman family of Boston and Salem.''
And another... ''descended in the Pickman family of Salem, Massachusetts... is an extraordinary survival. The painted decoration on the high chest...'' is worth scrutiny.
Boston Japanned Furniture - Colonial Society of Massachusetts:
''The number of forms bearing japanned decoration and made in Boston exceed those of any other area in America.''
Ours on offer here is certainly English, but it is interesting to note rare, yet comparable, contemporary American pieces.
