Rare Anglo-Chinese Rosewood Tripod Tea Table, c. 1760

Offered by: Patrick Bavasi

Description
Rare Anglo-Chinese Rosewood Tripod Tea Table
Chinese, in the English taste, circa 1760

The table features a scalloped circular top with a molded edge and pierced gallery supported by delicate baluster turnings above the original birdcage mechanism. The fluted baluster-form standard rises from three cabriole legs with carved knees terminating in finely executed ball-and-claw feet. The vividly figured rosewood is particularly striking throughout.

The combination of Chinese craftsmanship and English Georgian design is characteristic of Anglo-Chinese furniture produced for Western merchants and officials connected with the British East India Company. Furniture of this type was intended for use in Canton, Macao, and other trading outposts in the East.¹

Compact in scale and versatile in use, the table works equally well beside a chair, sofa, or bed.
