of the most successful and popular forms found in Chinese furniture
construction. Compare to a very similar table from the Jane and
Leopold Swergold Collection, sold at Christie’s New York, 17-18 March
2016, lot 1308; and a closely related table of this form, illustrated by
R.H. Ellsworth, Chinese Furniture, New York, 1970, no. 66, and later sold
at Christie’s New York, 18 March 2015, lot 169.

桌面攢框鑲心，下承束腰，腿和牙條抱肩榫相接，四腿間安羅鍋棖，方
材直腿足挖內翻馬蹄。
本拍品簡潔有力、平易近人的設計乃明式桌案中最受歡迎的一類，於明
清兩代皆為盛行。見一非常相近例，其為 Jane and Leopold Swergold 舊
藏，後於紐約佳士得 2016 年 3 月 17-18 日拍賣，拍品 1308 號；另見
一同樣造型的例子，載於安思遠著《中國家具》，紐約，1970 年，圖版
66 號，後於紐約佳士得 2015 年 3 月 18 日拍賣，拍品 169 號。
