Chinese Export Furniture

CHINESE EXPORT STYLE

Expanded trade between Europe and East Asia, starting in the 16th century, led to a booming market for exported goods, particularly furniture. This was bolstered by the establishment of the Dutch and English East India Companies at the beginning of the 17th century. From folding screens and chairs to lacquer tables and silver, Chinese Export furniture was in demand and regularly copied and imitated, leading to styles like chinoiserie and Chinese Chippendale.

The expansion of exporting that had strengthened the arts during the Ming dynasty continued into the Qing dynasty era — Chinese designers made many furniture pieces specifically for export, resulting in distinctive designs that mixed traditional techniques with forms appealing to foreign buyers. For instance, cabinetmakers in Canton (modern-day Guangzhou) were prolific in crafting hardwood furniture for export in European styles that involved the expert joinery techniques of Chinese furniture. Designs for Chinese Export porcelain, cabinets, decorative objects and other furniture were often more ornately adorned than they would be for a local audience, such as with mother-of-pearl overlays or surfaces featuring lavish pictorial scenes or gold on black motifs. Some were even commissioned by wealthy European families to be adorned with their coat of arms.

Because lacquer furniture was especially prized, and the resin used to create it was difficult to import as it would harden during the long voyage, artisans in China and Japan exported numerous lacquer pieces. Long before lacquer made its way to Japan, the Chinese treated the material differently. They used it to create smooth, glossy surfaces, but also for carving, an art that began in the 12th century and is exclusively Chinese. These pieces are called cinnabar lacquer after the powdered mercury sulfide (cinnabar) employed to produce their characteristic red hue. A popular form for export was a compact cabinet with drawers, usually displayed on a small table. Undecorated furniture built in Europe was also shipped to China to be lacquered. The international exchange of design would influence furniture into the 19th century and later, informing styles such as Art Deco and Art Nouveau.

Chinese Chinoiserie Dining Table Rosewood & Mother of Pearl Round to Oval

Chinese Chinoiserie Dining Table Rosewood & Mother of Pearl Round to Oval

Located in Topeka, KS

Wonderful vintage Chinese Chinoiserie dining table comprised of Rosewood & Mother of Pearl (m-o-p) round top with 2 leaves, converting it to a small oval with one leaf and large oval with 2 leaves. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. This Asian style table is in excellent vintage condition with the exception of a small missing piece of m-o-p on the top which we have repaired by filling with wood filler and painting with a pearlized paint. You can still see the spot when looking for it but doesn’t show overall. There was also a nick on the inside edge of one of the leaves that has been filled. The whole top and leaves have been scuffed and given a coat of poly for durability. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-Late 20th Century. Mother of Pearl comes predominantly from the shell of the pearl oyster, freshwater pearl mussel, and abalone… making this table a true GEM!! This is a GORGEOUS Chinese rosewood dining table...

Antique Chinese Qing Dynasty 1800's 59-Drawer Apothecary Chest Herb Cabinet 58"H

Located in Portland, OR

Available from Shogun's Gallery in Portland, Oregon for over 45 years specializing in Asian Arts & Antiques. Antique Chinese Qing Dynasty 59-Drawer Apothecary Chest, Herb Cabinet China, 19th century Qing dynasty 45.5"W × 23.5"D × 57.5"H (116 × 60 × 146 cm) Approx. 200 lbs (91 kg) A substantial apothecary cabinet (药柜, yào guì) of the type used in traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies, fitted with 59 drawers arranged in a grid of multi-compartment sections — each front face labeled with hand-brushed paper tags identifying the herbs or medicinals stored within. The case is constructed in elmwood (榆木, yú mù), finished overall in deep ox-blood lacquer with characteristic age-crackle and wear to the surface. Drawer bodies are plain-sawn softwood with forged iron ring pulls throughout; construction is mortise-and-tenon throughout, with the frame-and-panel side panels showing clean, flat-sawn grain. The large-format drawer at the base bears carved Chinese characters across the apron. Original paper labels remain largely intact, with calligraphic script identifying ingredients including 白菊花, 生薏仁, 冬瓜子, 廣木香, and others — a rare survival that documents the cabinet's active pharmacy use. Condition: Expected wear consistent with 19th-century working provenance — lacquer loss, surface scratches, and minor cracking to several drawer sides (visible in photos); structurally sound. All drawers operate. Labels intact with some loss and lifting at edges. A rare and complete example of Chinese pharmacy furniture...
