The present table appears to be inspired by earlier, Ming dynasty, lacquer tables similarly decorated in rich mother-of-pearl inlay. Lacquer tables of this type are depicted in paintings as early as the Song dynasty (960-1279), such as the work titled Xizhi xie zhao tu in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in The Chang Family Bequest of Fine Ming and Qing Furniture in the Shanghai Museum, Hong Kong, 1998, p. 58. See a Wanli mark and period table belonging to this group, from the Qing court collection and still in Beijing, published in Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2002, pl. 108; and another from the collections of Mrs. Nelson A. Rockefeller, Roger Vivier, the Rothschilds and Bernard Baruch Steinitz, sold in our New York rooms, 11/12thSeptember 2012, lot 222.
