Corner-leg tables with the proportions of the
present example are some of the more versatile
pieces of classical Chinese furniture. In the
scholar’s studio, they could sit at the side of
the room and hold painting accoutrements or
antiques; in the bedroom, they could be placed
alongside beds during the day to hold decorative
objects or books. Examples of this form, with
straight stretchers and vertical support struts
resulting in rectangular apertures or panels
are relatively rare; illustrations of two waistless
examples with a similar design, one with
additional ruyi-form struts, are illustrated by
Wang Shixiang in Connoisseurship of Chinese
Furniture, Hong Kong, 1990, pp. 90 and 95, nos.
B66 and B80. Other somewhat related examples
include the rounded-corner ‘bamboo’-form side
tables with both straight vertical and interlocking-
ring struts, such as the pair of huanghuali side
tables sold at Christie’s New York, 17-18 March
2016, lot 1316.
