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.

Origin: ;  Circa: 1820 ; Materials:  maple on a pine carcass.

Size: 25.5 cm wide by 19 cm by 33.3 cm:  10 inches wide by 7.5  inches by 13  inches high.
