Oriental Console in Carved Wood, Vietnam, 1890s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Oriental style console, carved wood, ff. s. XIX / pp. s. XX - Vietnam

Spectacular side or console table of Vietnamese origin, dating back to the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. It presents a curious trapezoidal shape, or faceted profile, which could indicate a ceremonial or specific purpose in the use of the furniture. The intricate carving work on the wood stands out, especially on the skirt, characteristic of traditional Vietnamese crafts. The carved decorative motifs appear to follow scroll or volute patterns, common in Asian ornamentation. This type of design usually has symbolic connotations, often associated with nature, prosperity or longevity.

The use of black and gold, along with red on the top, creates a dramatic contrast that highlights the sophistication of the furniture. In the Vietnamese context, these colors have deep meanings: black is often a symbol of stability and power, gold is associated with wealth and fortune, and red represents good luck and happiness.

This type of furniture not only had a functional purpose, but was also a status object. The intricate carvings and use of gilding suggest it may have belonged to a wealthy family or been used in a ceremonial or religious setting. The combination of art and functionality is a characteristic feature of Asian furniture, where every detail has a purpose beyond the aesthetic.

A great influence of Chinese art is observed, as is common in Vietnamese art and crafts, especially in the stylization of decorative motifs. Vietnam has historically been influenced by Chinese culture and art, especially during periods when the country was under Chinese rule. The lattice motifs, ornamental carvings, and use of gilding on this table are reminiscent of Chinese decorative styles that can also be found on furniture from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912).

Its careful elaboration, the symbolic use of colors and cultural influences make it a piece with great aesthetic and historical value. It is a reflection of Vietnam's cultural heritage and the importance of ornamentation on everyday objects.
