The melon ridge line is a divided line foot, which is mostly found in the furniture of the uncoiled table stool and cabinet frame. The hexagonal Huanghuali Nanguan hat chair has melon ribs on the head, armrests and legs, and stands out in the Ming-style chair.

Similar to the opening of the lobe, there is also a process called split material making, which is two or more parallel mixed surfaces. Below the seat surface of the hexagonal chair, it is decorated with this kind of line foot.
First of all, a close-up, with 120 degrees as the angle, the most special thing about the hexagonal chair is that it has two more legs, which has added several faces and several more lines, which greatly enhances the layer of line surfaces.
Apply a double element mixture and press a side line up and down.
The front side of the hexagonal chair tray can be seen, and there is rarely such a sense of layering in Ming-style furniture, and wooden friends who have played with the hexagonal pen holder may have a similar experience.
The legs and feet are connected under the six corners, the front and back four feet are facing 60 degrees outwards, the middle two feet are facing the sides, looking at the face melon lobes, the other three sides are flat.
Under the chair plate, between the front legs, the front is equipped with straight mouth teeth, and the other five sides are ansu tooth strips.
The teeth are raised along the edges of the thin drum line, which looks like a miniature version of the single melon edge, which is not large but very eye-catching.
The foot is made of split material, and the front is exactly the same as the melon ribs and double mix, and all the firs are mounted at the same height.
The footrest protrudes outward and is shaped in the same shape as the other figurines.
Turn 60 degrees and look past the front of the front leg, where the end of the foot is partially shown. The freshness brought by the hexagon is reflected in all aspects of the chair.
The foot of the pipe is reinforced with a tooth strip, and the splitting material ends on the ground.
Finally, looking at the back of the chair, except for the three-frame part that does not apply the line foot, the rest of the front and back sides are basically the same.
Careful Tibetan friends also noticed that of the five tooth strips under the chair plate, only the back one was not raised. Is this the way it was designed, or is it a lack of attention that saves labor? We'll find out on a pair of the same one we shot seven years ago.
