Black lacquered Chinese coffee table, 20th century.

This 20th-century black lacquered Chinese coffee table is characterised by its elegant design and rich polychrome decor. Made of black lacquered wood, it rests on four curved legs adorned with golden motifs. The top features a lively scene of characters in a landscape, enhanced by mother-of-pearl inlays and fine golden decorations. With compact dimensions of 81 × 41 cm and a height of 40 cm, it serves as a highly decorative piece that can function as both a coffee table and an accent table in a vintage, eclectic, or Asian-inspired interior. In generally good condition, the top retains its decor well despite signs of use, chips, and missing lacquer mainly on the legs and edges, as well as a dent on the edge of the top. All defects are visible in the photographs and are consistent with the age and use of the piece. This Chinese coffee table will bring a touch of exoticism and sophistication to your interior. It will harmoniously pair with a velvet sofa or a club chair in a vintage living room, while being small enough to be used as an accent table next to a corner sofa in a more modern space.
