RARE PAIR OF HUANGHUALI CHAIRS, DENGGUAYI 17th/18th century A RARE PAIR OF HUANGHUALI 'LAMPHANGER' SIDE CHAIRS, DENGGUAYI 17th/18th century Each fitted with a round-section shaped crestrail supported on a C-shaped backsplat and backward-curving rear corner posts of round section, the mat seat set within the rectangular frame over legs of square section joined by square humpback stretchers joined to the frame by short vertical struts at the top and stretchers of square section along the base. Each 104.5cm x 48.5cm x 39.5cm (41 1/8in x 19 1/8in x 15 1/2in) Seat height: 50cm (19 3/4in) Crestrail length: 50cm (19 3/4in) (2). Footnotes: PROPERTY OF A DISTINGUISHED DUTCH FAMILY 荷蘭顯赫家族珍藏 十七/十八世紀 黃花梨燈掛椅一對 This rare pair of huanghuali side chairs represents a less formal type of chair than the larger and more representative armchair. Of comparatively small proportions, they correspond perfectly to the size and construction of other known examples of huanghuali side chairs. As noted by Wang Shixiang, far fewer numbers of chairs of this type survive due to their structurally less integrated form, see Wang Shixiang, Classical and Vernacular Chinese Furniture in the Living environment. Examples from the Kai-Yin Lo Collection, Hong Kong, 1998, p. 112. The overall design of these side chairs is simple and yet refined. With their round upper corner posts and square legs the design of these two side chairs alludes to the tianyuan difang ('round heaven and square earth') type of chair which combines both round and square members in their design. The presence of humpback stretchers joined to the frame by vertical struts to the seat on the present pair is an elegant variation from the more commonly seen combination of plain apron and spandrels. Compare this pair with another huanghuali side chair, similarly constructed with humpback stretchers and vertical struts below the seat, dated to the 17th century, illustrated by Robert H. Ellsworth, Chinese Hardwood Furniture in Hawaiian Collections, Honolulu, 1982, p.57, pl.36. A line drawing of a side chair, with square-member humpback stretchers and vertical struts such as found on the present pair, is illustrated by Wang Shixiang, Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture: Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, Hong Kong, 1990, p.38, no.A53. Wang notes side chairs were often made in sets of two, four or even six as they took up less space and could easily be moved around, ibid. p.112. Late Ming and early Qing woodblock prints illustrate that side chairs were placed in a variety of interiors ranging from private rooms to formal reception spaces (Fig. 1). A very rare set of six side chairs of this design was sold in Sotheby's Parke Bernet, 4 and 5 December 1958, lot 378. A set of four huanghuali side chairs from the Kai-Yin Lo collection is illustrated in Wang Shixiang, Classical and Vernacular Chinese Furniture in the Living environment. Examples from the Kai-Yin Lo Collection, Hong Kong, 1998, pp.112-113, no.8. Several pairs of side chairs are known, compare with a pair from the collection of Gustav Ecke, published in Gustav Ecke, Chinese Domestic Furniture, Rutland, Vermont and Tokyo, 1962 (reprint), pp.98-99.
