Chinoiserie Lacquered Low Table

What is it?

A lacquered faux-bamboo low table with a tray-style top, hand-painted decoration, and delicate gilt scrollwork. The dark lacquer gives it that collected, old-world feel — part Anglo-Chinoiserie, part Hollywood Regency, very good with books, drinks, and a room that needs a little drama.

Where did it come from?

From a thoughtfully collected Kansas City estate with a legacy of philanthropy and entertaining. The kind of piece chosen by people who knew how to live with beautiful things — not precious, but polished.

Why did I choose it?

The shape. The faux-bamboo base keeps it light and architectural, while the lacquered top makes it feel special. It has that rare ability to look elegant without trying too hard — exactly the kind of table that makes a sitting room feel finished.

Condition:

Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. Expect minor surface wear and imperfections to the lacquer, consistent with use and history.
