Old Vietnamese console

Antique black Vietnamese console with a woven rattan top. This piece is a true ode to Indochinese style, a perfect marriage between the nobility of dark wood and the organic lightness of natural fibres. The strength of this console lies in the contrast between its imposing size and the delicacy of its legs. The feet feature elegant curves and intricate patterns like lotus flowers, showcasing an ancient cabinetmaking craftsmanship. The hand-woven rattan adds texture and a natural touch, providing a visually light and soft-to-the-touch surface. This type of console is ideal for a spacious entrance. The woven rattan has the unique ability to absorb light softly, avoiding the harsh reflections that one might encounter on a varnished top. It is elegance without ostentation. Origin: Hanoi.
