Henredon produced Asian-style (often called Chinoiserie or Oriental-inspired) furniture because mid-20th-century American design experienced a strong fascination with Asian aesthetics. From the 1950s through the 1970s, homeowners wanted interiors that felt worldly, elegant, and exotic, and Asian motifs—lacquered finishes, brass hardware, clean lines, and stylized imagery—fit perfectly with that trend. Henredon, known for high-end craftsmanship, collaborated with prominent designers and created collections that blended Eastern influences with Western practicality. Their Asian-style pieces stood out for their quality materials, rich finishes, and distinctive hardware, making them both fashionable at the time and collectible today. Beautiful piece in original condition - very very slight wear (most notable are the few water drop marks photographed).
