This anonymous design for export furniture, created between 1795 and 1805, depicts a table and two chairs in the Chinese style. The design shows a refined aesthetic with intricate details, demonstrating the popularity of Chinese furniture in Europe during this period. The table features a rectangular top with an elaborate, curved edge, while the chairs have high backs and intricately carved frames. This design, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the global exchange of artistic styles and the fascination with exotic furniture during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
