Drexel Heritage Chinoiserie Side Table Black Lacquer Burl Wood Glass Top 2 of 2

Annihilate the landfill, bring home hand-painted elegance that outlasted its original living room

This is the kind of side table that anchors a room with quiet drama. Drexel Heritage's Et Cetera line brought serious chinoiserie craftsmanship to American living rooms in the 1980s, and this piece shows why the style endures. Black lacquer apron with hand-painted gold floral motifs, figured burl wood banding, smoked glass inset top, graceful cabriole legs with brass ormolu sabots. The glass shows some light surface scratching visible in certain light, and there's minor wear to the gold trim edges—but the lacquer and painted decoration remain crisp.

The D'Beetle Difference • Hand-Painted Chinoiserie Detail: Gold-toned floral and geometric lattice work adorns all four apron sides. This isn't a transfer—you can see the brushwork variation that marks hand decoration.

• Quality Material Layering: Burl walnut veneer frame surrounds the smoked glass inset, with brass-tone edge banding.

• Brass Ormolu Sabots: Cast brass feet cap each cabriole leg—a detail that separates furniture-store chinoiserie from the real deal.
