A most beautiful 19th century French green chinoiserie display cabinet of narrow proportions

A most beautiful 19th century French green chinoiserie display cabinet of narrow proportions

The rectangular moulded top, above two long hinged doors, opening to reveal a cord covered interior, with a small light above each shelf.

The doors having a double throw lock.

With narrow glassed viewing sides, resting on short turned tapered legs.

Classic chinoiserie design overall. Notice the designs flow between joins, incredibly stylish always.

Chinoiserie style started in the early 17th century throughout Europe. The word derives from “chinois” French for Chinese.

European designers imitated the fanciful decorative designs on Chinese silks, art, lacquerware and furnishings.

The style has never fallen from grace. The Queen Anne period in the early 18th century was one of the most chinoiserie desired periods. Over the past three and a half decades in business, I have sold dozens of chinoiserie decorated pieces, from silk and rice paper art, to folding lacquered screens (two over the past year) many hanging bow-shaped hanging corner cupboards, desks, chairs, Chinese export sewing tables (two in storage)

The thing about a beautiful decorative chinoiserie piece is, there is only ever room for the one piece in your room. That one piece sits there either demanding attention or quietly rests saying, look here I am, you can’t beat my style and colouring, so take a seat and enjoy me.

Going through my stock I’m clearing at 50% reduction. I found this rare 19th century French table d’entrée – entrance table.

 

These pieces sell quickly as are a very hard find. Being so stylish and unique, yet small and narrow, so perfect for most entries, especially an apartment.

 

I sold two similar pieces in my showroom last year. This piece still needs some re gluing and a good clean, a few touch outs and a fresh wax finish. Will look as if never touched and well preserved when I’m finished.

 

This style of side table originated from a 16th/17th century English oak miniature livery cupboard. I sold a beauty to the western district around 25 years ago. I remember the incredible 19th century farmhouse it’s still residing in, along with some magnificent examples of rare museum quality 17th – 19th century English and European pieces.

I’ll create a post featuring some of my most prized pieces I’ve sold over the decades soon. Such incredible beauty to the eye✨
