Antique Chinese Lacquer Tea Table – Late Qing Dynasty

This exquisite Chinese lacquer tea table dates to the late Qing Dynasty (circa 1850–1900) and exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of southern China, likely from the Guangdong or Jiangsu region.

Beautifully finished in black lacquer, the table features intricate gilt-painted decoration depicting delicate floral and vine motifs, as well as a hand-painted landscape scene on the top panel. The fine gold detailing is complemented by a classic meander (Greek key) border, reflecting the influence of export designs popular during the 19th century.

The table’s elegant silhouette includes cabriole legs and a slightly raised apron with ornate scrollwork, showcasing traditional Qing-era design aesthetics. Its low profile suggests use in a seated tea ceremony or as a scholar’s table.

A striking combination of artistry and function, this antique piece is ideal as a centerpiece in a refined interior or as part of a collection of Chinese export furniture.
