LITERATURE:
Marcus Flacks, Classical Chinese Furniture VII, New York, Spring 2005, no. 11. The simple, austere lines of this cabinet create a sense of solidity and
Marcus Flacks, Classical Chinese Furniture: A Very Personal Point of View, strength and have an architectural quality created by the gently splayed lines
London, 2011, pp. 172-173. of the upright stiles and the strong horizontal lines of the top and bottom
members. This elegant silhouette is further enhanced by the dynamic
swirl of grain on the bookmatched doors. The careful choice of material
is an example of the Chinese affinity for and wonder of natural materials.
Richly textured surfaces were often incorporated into furniture to provide
a decorative element. A taller huanghuali sloping-stile cabinet with richly
grained paneled doors was sold at Christie’s New York, 22-23 September
2022, lot 794.
