Winged tips flanking the ends and the brass medallion drawer pull are classic Chinese elements along with the uniform silhouette. In the West we call it a Parsons leg, truth be told, the Chinese did it first. Here we can see how Drexel understands the parallel between Asian and Modern aesthetics. The black lacquer surface is enlivened with painted scenes featuring figures interacting amongst a backdrop of nature and architecture. This piece is finished in the round. The back side has painted panels throughout. An ever-useful, inconspicuous, drawer can be found at center. This table comes with a sheet of glass to protect the decorative top. The table was not photographed with the glass on… but it is included with purchase. Consider pairing this piece with our Maddox black lacquer Chinoiserie secretary desk (sold separately). Drexel logo is present inside the drawer.
