Rare 19th century French solid kingwood ‘whatnot’
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.

The beauty of Green or My Love Affair With Green 💚
Continually adding pieces from my private collection to my shop stock and noticing how fast they sell. Many of my customers share my taste✨
The wonderful Green Majolica plate I took from my cupboard at home (not easy) was like it was glued to my shelf!
Included in my display and sold. I remember driving back from selling customers perfect pieces for their home in Carramut, Western District, parked outside a dealer’s closed shop, rang him and waited while he drove to his shop to sell to me. I’ve so loved this piece.
Having a half price 50% off sale helped I’m sure.
The Joy Peck painting also sold while I was taking these photos (touches of green)
And the Portuguese Cabbage Ware Tureen with ladle and under plate sold too.
