This striking Antique Chinoiserie Ladies Writing Desk, dating to the early 20th century, offers a beautiful blend of function and ornate design. The desk’s exterior is painted in a rich black lacquer finish, adorned with delicate gilded motifs depicting traditional Chinese landscapes, which add a sense of elegance and exotic charm to any room. The artistic depiction of flowing rivers, pagodas, and blossoming trees is subtly incorporated into the design, creating a timeless piece.
The desk features a flared, cylindrical leg design, painted in a contrasting rich red to complement the lacquered black finish, adding depth and visual interest. The drop-down desk surface opens to reveal a gorgeous red-painted interior, complete with compartments for organization, including a small drawer. Two gate legs swing out to provide additional support for the writing surface, enhancing its practical functionality. The overall aesthetic speaks to the Arts and Crafts period, with a unique blend of style and craftsmanship.

The piece combines elegance and practicality, making it a perfect addition to a study or as a striking statement piece in any room. 36h x 34w x 12d closed 22d open knee height 30
