Fine Chinese Lacquered Cherry Wood Ming Console Table Antique Hallway Table Desk
A gorgeous fine vintage lacquered console table in lovely condition. A modern take on the ancient Chinese Ming style, this was wonderfully crafted and is a fabulous, versatile and superbly sized piece that will look stunning as a console table or occasional desk in almost any interior and will add colour, quality, up-market sophistication and Oriental style to any setting.
Made of beautiful solid cherry wood finished in a clear lacquer to bring out the wonderfully rich ruddy-nutty-brown colouring and lovely dark grain patterns and weighing an impressive 17kg, this superb piece was likely made for the high-end Western market in the last quarter of the 20th Century, although it’s possibly a fair bit older.
Made in the Ming style and using traditional master-craftsmanship, this has really lovely mortise and tenon joints on the sides and uses gorgeous mitred joinery to the top, sides and front, creating a sharp, smart, angular look. The top has an inlaid centre and the sides have very attractive recessed centres, the lovely long legs are gently tapered and have traditional Ming horse-shoe feet and the front has two good-sized drawers with pronounced centres and smart angular brass handles.
All in all this is a stunning and super-smart piece of very high-end Chinese furniture. Wonderfully crafted using beautiful cherry wood, it would look sleek, sharp and stunning as versatile table or desk pretty much anywhere.
CONDITION
This is in very good condition. Structurally sound and expertly crafted from excellent quality cherry wood, the only minor flaws are some bumps and knocks to the edges, as you'd expect for a piece of its age, which only add to its aged charm, a couple of hairline cracks and some light scratching to the lacquered finish on the top, which can only really be noticed under strong light from certain angles and don't hugely detract from this stunning piece - please see the photos.
