China Guardian Newsletter 127 · Highlight - Classical Chinese Furniture

2019-09-10

This Autumn, besides the flagship sale of ‘Classic Furniture of Ming and the Qing Dynasties’, we are delighted to bring back the sale of ‘Classic Furniture from The Hung Collection’ for collectors around the world. The sales will feature properties from illustrious collections and works of great academic value previously included in prominent publications. Ming furniture will be presented alongside Qing pieces, offering a spectacular display of fine craftsmanship.

‘Classic Furniture from the Hung Collection' will offer 14 pieces (sets) handpicked by Robert Hatfield Ellsworth for Mr. Hong over decades, all of which featured in both Chinese Furniture: The Hung Collection books 1 & 2. Among the highlight is the Ming Dynasty huanghuali incense stand with four legs. Its square shape, three-bend legs, original floor stretcher, and classic scroll carvings, exude a sense of high spirit and stands as an exceptional example of Ming Furniture.

The sale of ‘Classic Furniture of the Ming and the Qing Dynasties’ will be led by a zitan waistless couch bed with three screens of the Early Qing period. Crafted solely from zitan the piece is extremely rare. Of concise structure and minimal decorations this piece can be concluded as succinct but timeless. Another highlight is the small huanghuali waistless painting table of the Early Qing period. The top is a single-board of beautiful huanghuali crafted with exquisite workmanship. Both the aprons and the legs are round in shape, displaying perfect unity and harmony.

The sale will also present the Oriental Garden: an important set of scholar's rocks that consists of more than 300 pieces of different sizes and varieties, while the main section comprises more than 20 Taihu rocks. All the pieces are clearly numbered and the two on the top are particularly outstanding. Towering like miniature mountains, this well-proportioned set seamlessly creates an illusion of the idyllic Chinese landscape shrouded in mist. The set originated from the Xiuning County, Anhui Province (now Huangshan City) founded by the Dai family in the Ming dynasty. The illustrious Dai family is known for its talented members, including Dai Benxiao, a painter of the Hui school from the Late Ming and Early Qing Period; Dai Siwang, a musician from the Qianlong period; Dai Weiheng, a poet, and Dai Zhen, a writer. During the mid-Qing period, a merchant named Cao Li’an, acquired the Dai family’s mansion and gardens, including this marvellous set. By the year 2018 these rocks were removed from a garden in Southern China and transported to the banks of the Cosson River in France for an exhibition, being part of the 500th anniversary of the Chateau de Chambord, one of the most famous Renaissance castles in France .
