About the Item
A striking and sophisticated pair of custom black lacquer Parsons tables, each inset with richly detailed 18th-century Chinese Coromandel lacquer panels. The seamless integration of minimalist Western form with historic Eastern surface decoration creates a compelling dialogue between modernist geometry and centuries-old craftsmanship.
The inset Coromandel panels—originally part of a folding screen—feature intricate carved and painted lacquer work typical of Qing Dynasty decorative arts, with subtle gilded elements and figural or landscape motifs partially softened by time. The black lacquer Parsons-style frames, likely made in the mid-20th century, have developed a warm, age-acquired patina that harmonizes beautifully with the depth and texture of the antique panels.
Pieces like these were favored by decorators in the 1960s and ’70s who sought to mix global antiquities with clean-lined forms—creating interiors that were both worldly and restrained. Designers such as Billy Baldwin, Michael Taylor, and Charles Spada were known to incorporate similar juxtapositions into eclectic, elegant rooms.
Beautiful as side tables, cocktail tables, or even pedestal stands, this pair serves as both functional furniture and storied decorative objects—blending centuries of lacquer tradition with timeless design.
