Huanghuali inlaid marble four-headed official hat chair, length 57 width 45 height 114 cm, the most prominent feature is to save the backrest inlaid marble slab, yesterday's public number article has been explained in detail.
The part outside the backrest, the upper and lower wooden legs are made of a row, the middle indirect armrest, and the three-curved eel head shape.
The front end of the armrest falls on the neck of the goose, and the front leg is cut off into two pieces of wood.
The goose neck is mounted backwards, leaning forward sharply, and the horn teeth are hung on the outside. The teeth bend and rise with the outline of the goose's neck, like a meat skirt hanging down from the goose's neck, standing tall, "goose, goose, goose, song to the sky."
The goose neck retreats to shorten the leg support spacing, in addition to the elegant shape, but also from the structure to create conditions for the elimination of the joint gang stick.
This method of making the handrail frame empty is generally regarded as one of the characteristics of the earlier era, which is mostly reflected in Ming and Qing paintings and prints, and there are some similar heirlooms to support it, which will be exemplified later.
The seat surface is grooved with rattan mats, the corners of the middle section of the front side are smoothed, and the edges and corners on the smooth arc surface are completely absent.
In fact, the edge of the chair plate was originally a plain mixed surface pressed edge line, and the edge line along both ends of the façade is still there, which is easy to see from the front.
Huanghuali hardwood is immortal for thousands of years, the ancients knife slashing axe sawing is still difficult, but by sitting down and standing up, the leg bends and rubs to remove a thick layer, how much time do you say it takes?
Under the chair, between the legs, the front three sides of the mouth teeth, the back of the straight tooth strip, four legs eight shoulders, side feet prominent.
Neither the door type nor the wadding belly, the style of the mouth and teeth of the plain straight coupon is rare, and there are even fewer in the Huanghuali heirlooms.
Similar examples, such as the Summer Palace Hidden Ming Huanghuali Nanguan Hat Chair, there is no joint gang under the high armrest.
There is also the Huanghuali four-headed official hat chair that was sold for 3.56 million yuan last year, and the non-joint gang stick and the under-seat structure are also like this.
The collection is dating from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and there has not been much controversy from beginning to end.
According to the empty armrest frame and the straight ticket mouth, it is determined that the huanghuali inlaid marble four-headed chair can reach the Ming Dynasty as early as the Ming Dynasty, and the late Qing Dynasty, I don't know if you agree with it?
