The museum is a place where historical relics are displayed and displayed, and it is also a place where works of art are concentrated. The collection of traditional furniture, represented by rosewood and yellow pear materials, has flourished from scratch in recent decades, and the two museums have become famous.
Their collection represents the highest level of purple and yellow furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties, one of which is in China, namely the Shanghai Museum, and the other is the former California Museum of Chinese Classical Furniture.
Since the rise of foreigners in the 1920s and 1930s, the seeds of Chinese furniture collection have begun to take root. Mr. Wang Shixiang, a great collector and researcher, came to the fore and established a convincing Ming-style furniture theory system.
By chance, Mr. Zhuang Guilun, a Hong Kong industrialist, acquired Mr. Wang's lifelong collection, and dozens of original objects of the "Ming-style Furniture Appreciation" book were finally settled in Shangbo'an's home.
This Mr. Zhuang is both a funder and a consultant of The Bo, likes to invest in art, and later collected some purple and yellow furniture.
After the publication of Mr. Wang Shixiang's masterpiece, overseas collectors have gone to the mainland to search for treasures, and hardwood furniture scattered around the country has been continuously excavated.
In the face of the rolling trend of collection, the Museum of Chinese Classical Furniture in California was quickly established in the late 1980s, and in just six or seven years, it collected all kinds of doors, with a total of hundreds of pieces, all of which are fine products.
In the fall of 1996, the California Collection was auctioned collectively, and several of them were collected by Mr. Zhuang Guilun. The scene at that time was extraordinary and became a big event in the history of traditional furniture collection.
Just earlier this month, the Hong Kong Spring Auction launched several pieces of huanghuali furniture, and Mr. Chuang's original California Museum lot will appear again, the industry applauded in unison, and collectors are looking forward to it.
