French Jappaned Chinoiserie Two Tier Tea Table

Bottom table: 34.5 X 25X 17.25…. Top table 31X 21.25X 15….. total height 32.5

A beautiful late 19th-century French japanned Chinoiserie two-tier tea table, hand-painted with delicate birds, foliage, and decorative flourishes. Petite in scale but full of presence, this piece brings a wonderfully romantic, collected detail to a room.

Japanning became popular in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, as makers began imitating and interpreting Chinese artistic traditions through lacquered finishes, painted scenery, and decorative motifs. By the late 19th century, pieces like this were often used in drawing rooms and parlors as elegant occasional tables — perfect for holding tea service, displaying decorative objects, or adding a refined accent beside a chair or settee.

The two-tier design makes it both beautiful and useful, offering space for books, a small lamp, teacups, a vase, or treasured objects. The painted birds and foliage give it a soft, whimsical quality, while the dark japanned finish adds depth and contrast.

A lovely piece for a sitting room, bedroom, entryway, or reading corner. Style it with a small floral arrangement, a favorite book, and a candle — or let it hold a proper afternoon tea moment, as intended.
