Vintage Oriental Coffee Table - Mother of Pearl Inlay - Chinese Black Lacquered
Description
A vintage oriental coffee table with an oval form and black lacquered finish, richly decorated with mother of pearl detailing. The top features a detailed figural scene with traditional figures, landscape elements, and intricate border work. A bold decorative piece, ideal as a coffee table, statement centrepiece, or display table.
Constructed from a wooden base with a black finish and inlaid mother of pearl decoration throughout the top and frieze. The raised edge forms a tray-style surround, with cabriole-style legs supporting the piece. Likely mid to late 20th century, produced in a Chinese or oriental style. Unsure of the exact age, but more than happy to help with any further questions.
Condition
In well used vintage condition.
Showing age and use with quite a few surface scratches, scuffs, and wear to the lacquered finish. Areas of mother of pearl inlay show losses and lifting, most notably to sections of the decorative figures (one of which is missing a head). Some surface marks and scratches across the top (more visible in some light angles than others). General wear and finish cracking to edges and legs consistent with age and use.
Remains solid and usable.
Would benefit from a good clean and polish.
We have tried to capture all of these in the photos as best as possible, so please study these as a good indication of cosmetic condition.
