Antique Japanned Chinoiserie wine side table.

The table has a circular top with a lacquered and painted scene depicting figures in a landscape with trees and mountains. 

The table appears to be made from a type of wood, possibly walnut, with a decorative inlay or painted finish on the top. 

Style: The table has a tripod base with carved legs and a turned column. 

Approx 18 inches high, diameter 11.5 inches.

Table top can be unscrewed from stand.

Small, round table with a central pedestal and three splayed legs (a tripod base). This form is often associated with tea, wine or occasional tables from the 18th and 19th centuries, especially in the Neoclassical and Regency periods. 

The structure of the base with the turned pedestal and scrolled feet is typical of this style.

Decoration (Japanning): The most distinctive feature is the decoration on the tabletop. Japanning is a European technique that imitates the lacquerware of East Asia (Japan and China). It involves applying multiple coats of varnish, often black or dark colors, with painted, raised, or gilded motifs, typically depicting Chinoiserie scenes—landscapes, figures, pagodas, and floral designs.

The table shows a scene with figures and buildings in a landscape, predominantly in gold, black, and red on an ochre or gold ground.

The black border with flecks of gold further suggests an attempt to mimic traditional lacquer or gesso decoration.

Condition and Age: The chipping, cracking, and loss of paint and gilding on the top and the worn appearance of the wooden base suggest considerable age, possibly dating from the early to mid-19th century (Victorian or late Regency era), when Japanned furniture was popular, or a later revival piece.
