AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of nesting tables of Chinese manufacture from the first half of the 20th century, made of dark lacquered wood with decorations in the shibayama style. The underside friezes feature refined reliefs in soapstone and polychrome bone that depict narrative scenes with traditional figures and Oriental architectures. The structure, typical of export Chinoiserie, rests on slender joined legs, preserving a splendid patina and slight signs of wear that attest to their authenticity and historical charm.

Dimensions: 63x45x33 cm - 56x36x30 cm

The tables are in generally good condition, though showing signs of time and use that confirm their authenticity and era. The surface and the relief decorations show slight material defects, small losses and superficial scratches due to normal use over the years. All details and imperfections of the patina have been highlighted in the photographic documentation, which is an integral part of the description of the lot's conservational state.

Observe the photographs carefully as they are an integral part of the description.
Tracked shipping including secure packing; any duties and customs taxes will be charged to the buyer.
