X] GUERIDON / LACQUERED WOODEN SIDE TABLE
Japan, Meiji in Taisho
It has a quadrangular top with rounded corners which rests on a tripod baluster base. The top, the apron, the base and the legs are richly decorated with a lacquered decoration inlaid with mother-of-pearl, playing with the iridescent reflections of the shells and thus inducing a happy polychromy. On the tray, on a background covered with a network of rhombuses punctuated with rosettes, fans of different shapes stand out. One is decorated with fish and a lobster; another with a phoenix; another with two white rabbits. On the other parts of the table, floral and butterfly decorations (jumps, misses, wear and tear, restorations).
H: 79 cm - W: 100 cm - D53.7 cm
