About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
This antique Chinese console table with drawers in lacquered wood, with two drawers with crescent-shaped iron pulls and traces of original red lacquer, is a domestic side piece from northern China around 1900. Originates from northern China, from the late Qing period, where domestic pieces were lacquered in red as a protective and decorative finish.
Red lacquer was the most common finish for popular furniture in northern China during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Applied over pine or poplar, it provided durability while integrating the piece into the chromatic palette of the traditional Chinese home.
The top is formed by assembled planks with a perimeter moulding. The two drawers carry plain fronts with crescent-shaped hand-forged iron pulls. The legs show the most visible traces of the original red lacquer on the drawer zone and apron, partially worn away.
The patina combines the dark tone of aged wood with fragments of red lacquer that survive on the less exposed surfaces. The ensemble conveys the material honesty of an everyday object.
This console suits japandi, wabi-sabi or industrial interiors. The residual red lacquer gives it a chromatic presence that also works in eclectic spaces.
