Chinese marble-inset hongmu export table, 19th century

Notes
Eastern export furniture, while inspired by earlier Chinese furniture traditions, was produced to align with Western taste for Chinoiserie. Exoticism and craftsmanship were highly prized and used together with forms and functions familiar to Western interiors to produce both practical and decorative furniture.
