The period piece is formed from mahogany and boasts an elaborate gilded Chinese fretwork design, C-scrolls, flowers, leaves, and acanthus leaves all of which are raised on cluster column or bamboo based leg design.

Such works inspired by the Far East were remarkably popular during the Georgian period. Today, period Chinese Chippendale furniture is exceptionally rare.
Two tables are available for purchase. Both of which were originally purchased from the Pacific Design Center Furniture Showroom. See less
