England, første halvdel af det 18. årh. H. 216. B. 106. D. 63. The lacquered objects and screens brought back to Europe by the East India Company in the late 17th century created a demand for larger, more practical objects which shared the same highly colourful and decorative surfaces of their Eastern counterparts. In order to try and recreate the rich and highly finished effect of oriental lacquer work, European cabinet makers turned to John Stalker and George Parker's 1688 Treatise of Japanning and Varnishing which soon became a key reference work, since it contained not only recipes for producing the various different colours but also patterns of Chinese figures, plants and gardens which could be adapted as necessary. European 'japanning' was popular until the end of the eighteenth century and was often used in bedroom apartments in the decoration of mirrors, stands and bureau cabinets such as the present example. As a result of its extravagant decoration a piece such as this could be displayed either open, to reveal its sumptuous interior, or closed where its mirrored doors would give a sense of depth to the rest of the room. Proveniens: Dansk privatsamling.
