Additional Information
This type of painted furniture belongs to French production of the 18th century, particularly popular in regions such as Lyon and Provence, where faux bois and marble effects were often combined with chinoiserie decoration. The use of pagodas, stylised trees and gilt details reflects the European fascination with Asian exoticism, fashionable during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI.
