Early Chinoiserie Japanned Leather Top Desk and Chair Set - Nichols and Stone
About the Item
A beautiful japanned Nichols & Stone chinoiserie desk and matching chair set. The desk itself is swoon-worthy with its painted traditional scenes of a forest and stenciled gold details. The front of the desk features nine drawer fronts, each with its own metal faux bois round handles. Each drawer face is painted with a different choinoiserie-inspired scene of birds, pagodas, and flora and fauna. The top of the desk is outfitted with a top that appears to be leather. However, it could also be faux leather, as it is hard to tell. The edges are decorated with a stylized gold stencil design.
The desk is accompanied by two matching chairs also by Nichols & Stone. The chairs are by the same brand, but from the Bicentennial Edition. The chairs are in the same japanned black hue, with gold stenciled details. Each chair's back is decorated with a different scene from early American history. One is marked, "Give me Liberty or give me death" - Patrick Henry with Saint John's Church, Richmond Virginia Mar. 1775 below a depiction of the event. The second chair is labeled "Returning the Liberty Bell to Philadelphia - June 1778" below a depiction of the scene.
This set is a rare find, and in good condition for it's age. It does have scratching, and some chipping in areas. Very structurally sound, and would be fabulous for a study or bedroom in the traditional style.
Nichols and Stone is the oldest furniture maker in the United States and is now under the well-known Stickley brand.
The chairs are stenciled

- Bureau Desk Fall Front Japanning Tortoishell Gilding ChinoiserieLocated in BUNGAY, SUFFOLKA rare, late-17th century / early-18th century, fall front bureau with gilded Chinoiserie Japanning & faux tortoishell ground. “Before Japan was made in England, the imitation of tortoise-shell was much in request for cabinets, tables and the like“. John Stalker and George Parker, a treatise on Japanning and varnishing (originally published in 1668), Alec Tiranti, 1998, p. 75. - This bureau is decorated in one of the most fashionable styles of the Baroque period, Chinese lacquer with gilded decoration and tortoiseshell imitation ground and would have been a statement piece within the interior. - The colours, which have become muted from atmospheric conditions over time, are still striking and colourful evoking warm and richness. - It has come from a private collection where it has reputedly been for many generations which explains why it is in such original condition retaining the original hinges, lock and catches. - Pieces of imitation tortoishell with gilded lacquer decoration are rare, the last piece I handled was a chest of drawers about 20 years ago. - Tortoishell furniture was only affordable by royalty and the elite and the height of fashion in the 17th century, as was producing things that were not what they seemed. One of the oldest examples of faux material from the Baroque period is at Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen where, in 1667, the royal bed...Category
