The Wan Li table is inspired by 18th and 19th-century Chinese export furniture for the Western market. Made in the traditional coromandel manner, the table is richly lacquered and decorated with a gold chinoiserie motif in gold with flora and fauna. Bowed legs with striking upturned swan-head feet and a sumptuous wide apron support the rectangular tray top. Table features a pull-out drawer for light storage.
An archival photo of the original catalogue sheet from 1985 is pictured.

Please note this table is currently undergoing an expert restoration to revive the brightness in the finish and correct any flaws currently on the table. Please refer to the last image of a Rose Tarlow K'ang Hsi table we sold which underwent the same process for reference on the correct finish which is referred to as Tete de negre by Rose Tarlow. Photos will be updated on completion and a video will be available on request.

A rare, collectible, and exceptional piece in a classic Rose Tarlow style no longer in production from this covetable designer for the discerning buyer. less
