Ref: 633JB: Penwork table cabinet with curved Regency
shape. The penwork depicts exquisite chinoiserie scenes of
figures in the fantastical gardens of Cathay. The
compartmentalized interior was fitted for jewelry in the 19th
Century. The hinged doors open to four drawers with
turned bone handles. The upper part was originally fitted for
sewing. The divisions retain their original pink lining paper. The
domed top and flared skirted base are unusual. A superb piece
of its period.
