Elegant coffee table from China, made of lacquered wood in a deep, satin golden hue, showcasing superb craftsmanship. The top features a delicately animated floral composition with birds, hand-painted with great finesse. The flowering branches, stylised foliage, and graceful birds unfold in a poetic scene, enhanced by fine gilding that captures the light and highlights every detail. The curved legs provide a harmonious silhouette and classic charm to the whole. The sides of the piece are also adorned with decorative golden patterns, reflecting traditional know-how and refined aesthetics. This piece combines decorative art, Eastern elegance, and mastery of lacquer, making this table a unique object, both functional and highly decorative. It shows some chips, scratches, and slight cracks, natural signs of its age, but the overall appearance remains very harmonious and barely noticeable. Reference 678V
