Rare Fine 18th Century China Trade Carved Padouk Tripod

About the Item

A very rare and finely-carved China trade padouk tripod table. Canton, ca 1750-1760. Wonderful carving to the base, and a most unusual bold border to the top. Its outstanding idiosyncrasies are indicative of China Trade origins. Most likely made in Guangdong (Canton) China, ca 1750, in the English Chippendale manner. In superb condition throughout. Ref: A closely related table in the V & A museum, London. Literature: Carl Crossman - China Trade Scholar, Dealer, Collector antiquesandthearts-79/ Guangdong 什么意思 China Trade 中国贸易 Antique古董

  • Fine and Rare Regency Chinoiserie Occasional Table
    Located in Lymington, GB
    A fine and rare English chinoiserie-decorated occasional table, circa 1820. The subject matter is extremely rare in that it depicts Europeans in exotic oriental robes. One is seated with an opium pipe; displayed in a polychrome romantic tropical environment with pavilions, rockwork, trellising, foliage, palms, with a peacock and HoHo bird at their feet. Note the very rare and charming depiction of these men with beards. In over 65 years we have never encountered a japanned table showing this European feature.
