A PAIR OF BURL-INSET ZITAN DRUM STOOLS
17TH-18TH CENTURY
Of barrel form, each stool is set with a huamu panel within the circular frame. The sides are carved with a
band of bosses above and below fve beaded shaped openings.

The elongated form of the present pair of drum stools is rare, but can be related to examples in the
Palace generally dated to the Kangxi reign. Compare, for example, a single zitan drum stool with similar
elongated form, although without the inset burl panel, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Ming and
Qing Furniture in the Palace Museum, Beijing, 2015, p. 256.
