Description: A Chinese Zitan wood table dating from the 18th century. The rectangular top composed of two wide boards set within a frame and supported by transverse stretchers, the panelled top above a widely flaring waist, the apron carved with well executed ruyi heads, the slender cabriole legs terminating in ruyi heads, all supported by a rectangular stretcher on bracket feet. Masterfully carved and polished to a lustrous finish, this elegant stand displays the technical virtuosity of 18th century wood carvers. Zitan was the most precious and highly esteemed timber available to the master craftsmen working in the Muzuo (Wood Workshop) belonging to the Zaobanchu (Imperial Palace Workshop). With its jade-like silky texture, extremely fine and dense grain, and subtle and deep lustre, zitan was the favourite timber of the Ming and Qing courts. Its long growth period combined with its limited availability, growing mainly in the southern regions of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, made it especially valuable. By the Qing dynasty, excessive felling of zitan led to the exhaustion of its supply in China, and by the Qianlong reign, special measures were taken by the court to protect, monitor and restrict the use of zitan to the Palace Workshops.這件香幾幾面廠方型,高束腰,束腰下牙板雕刻如意頭紋,四彎腿線條優美流暢,工藝精湛,技藝嫻熟。通體選用上乘珍貴紫檀木精心雕琢而成,紋理細緻緊密,光澤古樸深邃,於富貴中見雅緻的審美特色,盡顯清乾隆時期皇室家具之氣派。同時其造型典雅端莊、沉靜溫婉,將平衡和諧的東方美學發揮到了極致,充分展現了清代宮廷家具藝術雍容大氣、雅緻精巧的時代風格。本品典雅秀麗,精工雕琢,展現十八世紀巧工絕藝。紫檀木極其珍貴,質地潤澤如玉,材質緻密堅硬,光華內斂,乃清宮造辦處木作坊最名貴之傢具素材,明清宮廷作坊採用木材中,以紫檀為至臻極品。紫檀生長於廣東及廣西省一帶,成長速度緩慢,供應稀少。由於過度砍伐,至清代被採伐殆盡,乾隆一朝嚴格控制紫檀之使用,僅限用於宮廷作坊。參閱蘇富比倫敦,2014年5月14日,拍品37號。Dimensions are: 39 1/2 inches tall X 33 1/2 inches wide X 17 1/2 inches deep.
