A CHINESE EXPORT BLACK AND GILT LACQUER BUREAU CABINET PROBABLY CANTON (GUANGZHOU), MID 18TH CENTURY The architectural pediment top with doors enclosing an arrangement of recesses, divisions, drawers and slides, some with pierced fretwork, the serpentine bureau with a fall enclosing stepped and shaped drawers flanking a European inspired shepherd with sheep, reverse painted on mirror in Chinese hand 227.5cm high, 114cm wide, 62cm deepFor a related bureau cabinet see Victoria & Albert Museum, London, Accession number W.28:1 to 6-1935, about which is written 'This bureau cabinet was made in Canton (Guangzhou) in southern China, which in the 18th century became the principal - and later the only - trading port at which Europeans were permitted to buy Chinese goods. A formalised commercial system developed there, and Chinese merchants and artisans became increasingly familiar with western tastes and demands. The elaborate design of this cabinet shows how Chinese craftsmen were able to master the complex forms of western furniture, although in its arrangement of compartments and drawers the upper section of the cabinet is more Asian in style. The palette of black and gold is not typically Chinese but imitates Japanese lacquer, which was expensive and difficult to procure in the 18th century. The cabinet features typical lacquer decoration of natural themes such as flowers, animals and landscape scenes, which would have had exotic appeal in the West.'For other related bureau cabinets see Christie's, Le Gout Steinitz, New York, 19th October 2017, lot 30, USD301,000 (incl. premium); Christie's, Important Furniture, New York, 19th October 2000, lot 131, USD127,000 (incl. premium).The reverse painted mirror door to the interior of the bureau appears to be a rare feature.
