Small Chinese buffet, 19th century

If in the nineteenth century the fashion for objects and furniture from Asia did not falter and even experienced a particular revival at the end of the century, the origins called "China" are not as fine as what they import! Widely referred to as "Chinese", the small occasional furniture or decorative objects made in workshops in China or Japan to satisfy European demand are, at times, small wonders. This small sideboard is an example, with its chinoiserie decorations, but above all - and this is rarer - the keyholes and feigned hinges in gilded lacquer, like an Asian rereading of the gilded bronze. And what about those bouquets on the sides? They are certainly not far from the generous inlaid bouquets of Pierre Gole!
This charming little piece of furniture opens onto storage units that are not the ones we are used to finding in France under the reign of Napoleon III or after! Four racks, arranged in a square, is quite curious to the eyes of a European, not to mention these feet like beehives. The shelf confirms more the western taste with its turned wood and its delicate elevation.
Anyway, this small sideboard in very good condition is not ordinary and is nicely different from the chinoiseries to which the 19th century has accustomed us.
