Chinese Lacquer Sideboard From The Napoleon III Period.

Chinese lacquer sideboard from the Napoleon III period.
This piece of furniture is very original in the treatment of traditional Chinese decorations.
Mixing fantastic animals, dragons, cranes and insects on the 3 sides of the piece of furniture.
2 fighting characters, perched on their dromedaries complete the exotic theme.
The interior is treated with great refinement: 2 shelves (70 x 40), the back of the door, the bottom and the sides are entirely covered with Elm burl.
A wooden rack over the entire height of the piece of furniture (internal dimension 89 cm) allows the shelves to be adjusted to the desired height.
The piece of furniture rests on 4 spinning top feet in blackened wood.
A very beautiful griotte marble with 4 square protruding angles tops the whole.

19th century piece of furniture of very good quality of execution, full of charm and originality.
Some losses to the lacquer, marble formerly repaired.
