Schrijftafel 1750 - 1800

This anonymous writing table, dating from the late 18th century, is a fine example of the "chinoiserie" style popular in Europe during that period. The black lacquer finish and gold ornamentation, depicting a landscape scene, were inspired by Chinese and Japanese design, reflecting the growing interest in Eastern aesthetics. This table would have been used for writing or displaying objects, and its small size suggests it was intended for a domestic setting.
