Chinoiserie Dining Room Tables

CHINOISERIE STYLE

Emerging in the 17th century, chinoiserie appropriated the aesthetics and imagery of popular East Asian design for European-made versions. Reflecting the exoticization of China, Japan and other countries in this era, the word directly translates from French to “Chinese-esque,” which reveals its shortcomings as a style of furniture and decor that often stereotypically and reductively mimics Asian culture rather than showcasing and paying tribute to its artistic traditions.

The enthusiastically decorative chinoiserie style was propelled by influential tastemakers including French King Louis XIV, whose Trianon de Porcelaine in 1670 was inspired by Chinese architecture. Expanded trade between the East and West led to a demand for porcelain, lacquer objects, silk and other goods, which further informed the fanciful furniture being crafted in Europe.

Artisans working in the chinoiserie style used materials and elements like pagoda shapes, bamboo, lacquer surfaces, bird and flower motifs and other interpretations of Asian design on pieces that were frequently set against vibrant wallcoverings. This whimsical approach yielded chinoiserie furniture that boasted dramatic flourishes drawing on the natural world and reflected the dominance of Rococo during the 18th century.

As chinoiserie was shaped by approximations of Asian design by European creators, it had regional variations, such as Chinese Chippendale in England where cabinets, chairs and tea tables had wooden fretwork designs and “japanned” surfaces intended to resemble lacquer work that was created in East Asia. In North America, furniture makers in Boston and New York integrated chinoiserie-painted scenes into Queen Anne furniture.

Antique chinoiserie furniture has continued to be fashionable, from its popularity with decorators of the Hollywood Regency era — James Mont, Tommi Parzinger, William Haines and Samuel Marx favored the style — to contemporary interior designers, although it brings with it a complex history.

Belgian Black Marble Dining Table & Asian Modern Black Lacquer Dining Chairs Set
Located in Chattanooga, TN
This majestic Italian marble pedestal table, defined by bold geometry and elemental poise, stands as a sculptural anchor in any refined setting. The design features two robust black-marble pedestals—each crafted with inherent veining that whispers of natural dynamics and geological depth—positioned with tailored flexibility: they can be placed closer together for an intimate feel or spaced apart to create a dramatic, architectural stance. In its versatility, the piece can transform gracefully from dining table to console table, adapting effortlessly to stylistic or spatial needs. A substantial half-inch-thick glass top floats above the pedestals with beveled edges that capture and throw light, casting luminous reflections beneath. The transparency of the glass harmonizes with the solidity of the marble, allowing the interplay of form and weight to remain visible from every angle. The glass’s restraint highlights the pedestals’ sophistication without overwhelming the design narrative. Natural wear is modest—a few gentle nicks at the marble corners—infusing the piece with character rather than diminishing its presence. The marble, polished to a sheen, still resonates with tactile luxury, while the clean transparency of the glass preserves a modernist clarity. This table transcends mere functionality—it is an architectural statement in stone and light, a post-modern interpretation of solidity and transparency. It brings to mind the legacy of pedestal design where form and utility unify seamlessly, though reimagined here with dramatic scale and material opulence. Collectors drawn to sculptural gravitas, material elegance, and flexible design will find this piece irresistible. It stands ready to elevate fine interiors, offering both presence and narrative depth—an investment in ambiance as much as in form. Vintage 1980s black and white Neo Deco dining set. The luxurious black marble pedestal base features striking white veins and fields of mystical taupe-gray. It’s almost as if a thunderstorm was captured in stone. Dynamic white bands streak through the blackness like lighting bolts in a storm darkened sky. The 1980s enjoyed an Art Deco revival which came to be known as “Neo Deco.” This dining set is a prime example of the Neo Deco zeitgeist. The graduating arches on the chair backs emulate The Chrysler Building’s crown… an Art Deco architectural icon. The marble base’s silhouette is also informed by Art Deco architecture. The table has been updated with a newer 48″ diameter round glass top. No worry of stains on these vintage white seats. The previous owner was meticulous. In fact, the chair seats were still covered in the original plastic when we acquired the set. The base itself is a work of art, beautifully exhibiting the tenants of post-modern design. It is both decorative and simple. The designer has arranged slabs of sumptuous black marble in descending size, emanating from the center. This array of slabs cumulatively form a diamond shape when viewed from the top. The dramatic, high-back, chairs have a glossy lacquer finish that captures the same sheen as the stone pedestal table base...
