This rare 19th century French solid kingwood whatnot is certainly a work of cabinetmaker, leader of Japonism, Gabriel Viardot (1830-1904).
It is surmounted by a varnished polished bronze dragon that is frequently found in the cabinetmaker’s production.
The lower part also has shelves whose upright is decorated with a wrapped dragon in varnished polished bronze.
