Dutch Inlaid Satinwood and Chinese Export Lacquer Side Table
In the manner of Matthijs Horrix, last quarter 18th century
The crossbanded rectangular top with an inset lacquer panel depicting pavilions in a landscape and centered by a cypher below a coronet, above a frieze drawer with enamel pulls, raised on tapering square legs. Height 29 1/2 inches (75 cm), width 33 inches (83.9 cm), depth 26 inches (66 cm).
Asian lacquer panels were incorporated into Dutch furniture as early as 1700 as noted by Reinier Baarsen, Dutch Furniture 1600-1800, Amsterdam, 1993, p. 128. He continues: 'In 1780, the Hague cabinet-maker Matthijs Horrix supplied Princess Wilhelmina with a number of commodes inlaid with oriental lacquer provided by the princess . . . Horrix became a specialist in the genre, which was however certainly practised by other craftsmen and in other cities as well.'
The coronet at the center of the panel corresponds to that of an 'esquire' (schildknaap in Dutch), an order in the hierarchy of Dutch nobility.
