In three weeks, a major auction will take place at Asia Week in New York. One piece of furniture is called "low square table", the name is a bit different, and it seems to be more special.
Huanghuali ruyi pattern low square table, side length 94.6 height 46.4 cm, broken to the eighteenth century. The table top corner is edged and plated, which is a standard square, and there are more plates in the center of the board, and there are five pieces in four widths and one narrow.
The texture is oily, the pattern is beautiful, the light sense is strong, there are several large and small grimaces, and you can see more details when zooming in.
The texture transition is natural and smooth, the brown eyes are divergent and loose, the glitter changes alternately, and the yellow pear of the wood feels more obvious.
The side smear is mixed, close to the lower edge with a circle of wooden strips, the width is slightly narrower, and the mixed surface is also made, and the surface is higher than the legs and feet to increase the visual thickness of the panel, which is for the "stack edge".
Two or three inches below the stack, the arch is not large, imitating the appearance of bamboo strips winding, which is to "wrap the legs", also known as "round wrapping round".
The Luo pot is equipped with double card flowers, which are shaped like a head and play a role in supporting the desktop. Round legs are as thick as up and down, straight feet end on the ground.
Tibetan friends who are familiar with traditional furniture know that from the perspective of the length and width of the table, the side length of 94.6 cm matches the size of the Eight Immortals Table, regardless of the type of girdle or the type of corset, there are many examples in the heirloom that can refer to the comparison example.
The huanghuali auctioned more than a year ago has a square table with a corset carved dragon pattern, 94 cm long, 94 wide, 94 high and 88 cm, and the transaction price is 2.07 million yuan.
Another 977,500 yuan Huanghuali round square table, 92.6 meters long, 92.6 wide, 92.6 high 86.2 centimeters, the structure and appearance are almost exactly the same, the difference is that the card flower has been replaced by a double ring style.
This table is 46.4 centimeters high, a little more than half of the ordinary Eight Immortals table, and although it looks like the low furniture used on the kang, it may also be from the square table with amputated legs. The collection is estimated at $20,000 to $30,000, or about 126,000 to 189,000 yuan.
