LITERATURE
Nicholas Grindley, November 2004, no. 17.
The present chair is an example of a variation of the
standard southern official's hat armchairs, which is
also know as continuous yokeback armchairs such
as lot 2811. One of the distinguishing features of the
present chair is the construction of entirely square
section members. The current example displays a
most elegant shape with graceful curves emanating
a refined aesthetic of form and function.
方材南官帽椅，為古董商尼古拉斯 ‧ 格林利過手，
小巧玲瓏，方材蜿蜒變化，比例得當，可用可賞，
並難得保留黃花梨原始皮殼。其座面為落膛鑲板做
法，這在黃花梨椅具中並不常見，值得注意，然審
視座面正背，風化自然，與周邊皮殼一致，信是原
裝。相同樣式者在蘇北地區曾有發現，但落膛鑲板
做法是廣作傢俱較顯著特徵，尚待分析研究。
