拍品描述
China, 1644-1914. Finely carved, of rectangular form, standing on four cabriole legs terminating in outward-curving horse-hoof feet, joined by shaped aprons and spandrels intricately carved in high relief with scrolling tendrils and leafy stems. The waist is decorated with delicate linear ornamentation, while the edge of the tabletop is embellished with a continuous band of carved petals. The surface of the table is slightly recessed within the raised rim.The wood displaying a particularly attractive grain and warm tone.Provenance: From the collection of the Finnish attaché Harry Arvid Uggeldahl (1931-1991), who was based in Beijing between 1963 and 1965, and thence by descent within the family.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, manufacturing irregularities, and natural imperfections. Traces of use, light surface scratches, few small age cracks, few minute losses, some joints possibly reinforced.Weight: 16.2 kgDimensions: Height 63.5 cm, Length 79.5 cm, Depth 48 cmIt is uncommon to encounter a table of this model and scale with legs of this form. Curved cabriole legs, such as those found on the present lot, are more typically associated with smaller furniture forms, such as incense stands, kang tables, and stools, as noted by Sarah Handler in her article where she traces the evolution of the cabriole leg in traditional Chinese applied arts, which extends as far back as the S-curved legs seen in ritual bronze vessels of the Shang dynasty. See Sarah Handler, 'The Incense Stand and the Scholar's Mystical State', Journal of the Classical Chinese furniture society, issue 4, 1990, p. 4-10.The present table also features unusually low-relief decoration imitating English giltwood designs of the period, typically carved in gesso. This detail reflects the intensity of commercial exchange between China and Europe, and the particular fascination among European, especially British, clients with Chinese craftsmanship during that era. Similar carvings can notably be observed on Chinese export chairs of comparable design, as illustrated in Carl L. Crossman, The Decorative Arts of the China Trade, 1991, p. 231, pl. 83.Auction result comparison:Type: Related Auction: Christie's New York, 21 March 2015, lot 1238 Price: USD 125,000 or approx. EUR 147,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing : A Chinese export Huanghuali side table, c. 1750Expert remark: Compare the related form and manner of carving with gently curved legs and similarly decorated aprons.
