Huanghuali double ant ruyi pattern circle chair, 59 width 46 height 97 cm, broken era for the early Qing Dynasty, estimated at 180,000 to 250,000 yuan.
The lower valuation attracted a lot of people to participate, and the result was that the chair was auctioned for 494,500 yuan, almost doubling. However, such a price is not high for large furniture such as huanghuali circle chairs.
Not to talk about heroes in terms of size, just at the same auction, some small pieces of huanghuali are also expensive, and some even exceed this circle chair.
A foldable huanghuali chessboard, 52 cm long and 26 cm wide, broken for the Qing Dynasty, estimated at 400,000 to 600,000 yuan.
The chessboard is divided into two fans, the shaft structure will be connected left and right, and the area will be reduced by half after closing, which is easy to carry when going out to play, and the design is clever and innovative.
Each dish is framed with two sides and a metal piece attached to the other end of the bandhead.
The outer corner of the lattice edge is covered with copper leaves, and the inner mouth is slotted to install the board, which is the back of the chessboard.
The next shaft connection part, there are wood parts and metal parts, not conventional manufacturing method, it is worth analyzing and studying and learning.
The end of the plaster is semi-circular in a curved shape, and the outer surface is coated with copper leaves, and the circular holes are dug through for inclusion in the shaft head.
The middle of the arc end is slotted, embedded in a metal sheet with semi-circular ends, and inserted into the wooden shaft hinge.
The two chessboards are connected by a shaft, requiring a total of four shaft heads up and down, and the ancient craftsmen used a narrow and long slat, each end of which protruded from the edge of the wooden mortise as a shaft, as the connecting hub.
One wood and four shafts solve the problem of folding and closing of two plates, which is easy to operate and once and for all.
In order to avoid the structure of the framed plate on one side of the two wipes is not strong, the skilled craftsman also makes a mortise at the far end of the plate center, which is in line with the hammer eye on the plaster head.
Although the construction is exquisite, it brings some inconvenience to the assembly. Plate loading and insertion of the wooden shaft must be carried out together, while also taking into account the accurate positioning of the two metal sheets, and the process requirements are not low.
Later you will see the situation after the Folding Chessboard is opened.
