Black Lacquer Splayed Foot Scholars' Table, c. 1900
About the Item
With deceptively simple design, this narrow console table would have been favored by a Chinese scholar for its well-executed curves, gracefully arched like the sweep of a calligraphy brushstroke. Conforming to the minimal aesthetic of Ming-dynasty furniture, the late 19th-century table breaks from strict linearity with legs that swell out from the apron, ending in delicate splayed feet.
Constructed with traditional joinery techniques for a seamless appearance, the table was then painstakingly coated with layers of rich, black lacquer. Carefully selected as a source of creative inspiration, a scholar would have stood before this table to practice calligraphy and paint expressive landscapes. With clean lines and refined form, the narrow top perfectly accommodates an unrolled scroll.

Chinoiserie Motif Hand Painted Drexel Black Lacquer Console Table with Drawer
By James Mont, Henredon, Drexel
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Exceptional Nineteen-Laties (late 20th Century) Chinoiserie console table by Drexel. Winged tips flanking the ends and the brass medallion drawer pull are classic Chinese elements along with the uniform silhouette. In the West we call it a Parsons leg, truth be told, the Chinese did it first. Here we can see how Drexel understands the parallel between Asian and Modern aesthetics. The black lacquer surface is enlivened with painted scenes featuring figures interacting amongst a backdrop of nature and architecture. This piece is finished in the round. The back side has painted panels throughout. An ever-useful, inconspicuous, drawer can be found at center. This table comes with a sheet of glass to protect the decorative top. The table was not photographed with the glass on… but it is included with purchase. Consider pairing this piece with our Maddox black lacquer Chinoiserie secretary...
