Антикварный столик в восточном стиле

A miniature table in the Chinoiserie style with rich ornamentation made in the technique of through and openwork carving. The frame is decorated with curly branches of grapes. The upper part of the legs is a geometric pattern in the form of a so-called Chinese meander (a thunderstorm ornament - a symbol of eternity) with water lilies. The curved legs of the table are decorated with floral carvings that smoothly flow into the paws of an animal. The lintel with a lattice-shaped symbol of prosperity "show" is held by stylized figures of fanciful carved bats. The piece is in the oriental style, filled with the romantic spirit of Orientalism, popular in the period of the 18th and 19th centuries.
