Important double bed with canopy. China, Qing dynasty, 19th century. Huanghuali (rosewood) carved wood. It is accompanied by two armchairs. It presents marks of use and faults in the carving and decorations. Measurements: 250 x 215 x 260 cm. Large and exuberant Qing dynasty opium smoking canopy bed, dated to the 19th century. It is made of Huanghuali (rosewood) wood and has a high carved and carved openwork structure with geometric latticework on the front. The rich and abundant decoration is harmoniously displayed throughout the structure: carved panels with scenes of dignitaries and floral motifs define the composition and are particularly accentuated at the top of the canopy. Architectural projections with almost rounded decoration flank the upper part of the structure, depicting court ladies and palatial figures next to fruit trees. The great accumulation and representation of objects make up a work in which the "horror vacui" is palpable. The cubic structure containing the bed has a level of glazed windows that unfolds at the sides and at the back. The bed is accompanied by two armchairs with cube-shaped seats, on which the openwork backrests and the double line of gracefully fretted side balusters are raised. The backs of the seats are decorated with bone marquetry in a typically Chinese technique based on inlaid inlay with a floral theme. Inside, there is ample storage space for clothes or other objects related to opium smoking.
