PROVENANCE
A New York private collection, acquired circa 1990s
Nicholas Grindley, London, 2014
This table is a variant of the standard long recessed leg table that
invariably is constructed using round-section legs, and most of
the tables of this type with square-section legs and convex outer
faces have cloud scroll rather than plain spandrels. For examples
of these see one illustrated by Robert Jacobsen and Nicholas
Grindley in Classical Chinese Furniture in Minneapolis Institute
of Arts, Minneapolis, 1999, no. 41 and Furniture of the Ming and
Qing Dynasties, vol.1, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the
Palace Museum, Shanghai, 2002, no. 109. Tables of this length,
242 cm, usually have a more elaborate design with everted ends
to the top and inset legs with carved aprons, and carved panels
between the legs, such as the example in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art (accession no. 1996.339) or the example in the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts, op cit, no. 42.
A similar pingtou’an of simple design but with round-section
legs and a single tieli panel is in the Palace Museum, Beijing,
illustrated in The Palace Museum Collection: A Treasury of Ming
& Qing Dynasty Palace Furniture, vol. 1, Beijing, 2007, fig. 286.
It was originally placed in the Shoukang Palace, a residence
for Empress Dowagers or Consort Dowagers during the Qing
dynasty.
