The present bench is distinguished by the fnely carved archaistic
details on the legs and aprons. Compare a smaller huanghuali bench
with ruyi-form spandrels and square-section legs illustrated by
C. Evarts, A Leisurely Pursuit: Splendid Hardwood Antiquities from
the Liang Yi Collection, Hong Kong, 2000, pp. 56-57, no. 6. See,
also, a slightly larger bench with shallow ruyi-carved details on the
spandrels, the property of Dr. Otto Burchard, illustrated by G. Ecke,
Chinese Domestic Furniture, Rutland, Vermont and Tokyo, 1962, pl. 56.
