Rare Fine 18th Century China Trade Carved Padouk Tripod

About the Item

A very rare and finely-carved China trade padouk tripod table. Canton, circa 1750-1760. Wonderful carving to the base, and a most unusual bold border to the top. Its outstanding idiosyncrasies are indicative of China Trade origins. Most likely made in Guangdong (Canton) China, in the English Chippendale manner. In superb condition throughout. Ref: A closely related table in the V & A museum, London. Literature: Carl Crossman - China Trade Scholar, Dealer, Collector A Catalogue of Chinese Export Paintings, Furniture, Silver, and Other Objects, 1785 to 1865, Peabody Museum (1970). The China Trade: Export Paintings, Furniture, Silver and Other Objects, 1785-1865 (1972). Further refs: Guangdong 什么意思 China Trade 中国贸易 Antique古董
