Among the furniture passed down from generation to generation, the number of table cases is quite large. Flat head case, warp case, square table, strip table and other main forms, like to collect wooden friends are no strangers.
At the New York Spring Auction, which is about to start auctioning with a mallet two weeks later, there are two pieces of yellow pear furniture, which are not as common as ordinary table cases, and the shape is ambiguous and difficult to determine.
The Huanghuali Second Drawer Flat Head Case, 127.3 meters long, 55.9 meters high, is dated from the 18th to 19th centuries of the Qing Dynasty, and is estimated at 50,000 to 70,000 US dollars, which is about 315,000 to 441,000 yuan.
While smearing and slotting the single board face, the pattern is beautiful, and there is a large whirlpool in the middle. As the wood grain ripples away, the board surface rises and falls, with a slight warp deformation.
The ice plate presses the edge along the upper and lower sides, the legs are rounded and indented inward, leaving a little hanging head on both sides. In fact, it is a knot between the case and the table, and according to its width of fifty-six centimeters and the width ratio of 0.44, it may be more accurate to define it as a Ming-style bookcase.
Under the hanging head, the horn teeth dug out of wood are placed, and the legs are connected horizontally. The dorsal mixture is pressed on the edge line, and the upper part is smoothed out.
The short column is divided in the middle, the front boundary is the left and right drawers, inlaid with push button head side leaves, hanging hangers with four clusters of cloud pattern eye protection money. The horn teeth under the fir are reinforced, and the contour is raised in the second order. In addition, the texture of the drawer face is similar, and the two sides are separated by a wooden side.
Wear a smooth fir between the front and back legs, and wear copper boots at the end of the foot. Overall intact, finely crafted, it's a good collection.
By the way, if the width of the panel is not enough to be classified as a table or a strip, it is a standard Ming-style drawer table type, and there are few similar Huanghuali heirlooms.
A huanghuali and a pear desk in the same scene, 174.6 meters long and 112.4 meters high, are 80.6 centimeters in length, dating from the nineteenth century, and the shape has entered the Qing Dynasty and cannot be regarded as Ming-style furniture.
As can also be seen from the back grain at the foot end, it is obvious Clean-style furniture.
The estimated value of the collection is between $7,000 and $9,000, or it has been shown that the proportion of rosewood is not high.
