A MAGNIFICENT HUANGHUALI SQUARE GAMES TABLE, QIZHUO 18th centuryThe square panelled removable top with rounded edges, concealing a rectangular recess fitted with an ivory-inlaid shuanglu board and a wire-inlaid folding weiqi and xiangqi board and two circular apertures for gaming counters, all supported on a rounded waist above a drawer to each side and raised on round legs joined by humpback stretchers. 88cm (34 5/8in) high x 94cm (37in) wide x 92cm (33 1/2in) deep. 注脚 十八世紀 黃花梨活面棋桌Provenance: Hei Hung-Lu, Hong Kong, late 1980s/early 1990sA European private collectionSotheby's London, 11 November 2015, lot 12 An important European private collection來源：二十世紀八十年代末/九十年代初，香港古董商黑洪祿歐洲私人舊藏倫敦蘇富比，2015年11月11日，拍品編號12歐洲重要私人收藏The present table is particularly remarkable for the translucent golden-honey colour of its prized huanghuali wood and for skilfully combining the clarity and simplicity of its form, characterised by the use of cloud-shaped spandrels and horse-hoof feet, with a complex arrangement of game board sets concealed within its boxwood frame, which includes two compartments for storing game pieces and four smaller hidden drawers. The exceptional huanghuali games table, 18th century, is an outstanding example of restrained elegance and construction dexterity. Games tables were particularly popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Whilst the table had a recreational aspect, it was also required to double up as a functional dining table or domestic surface. The table could easily fulfil both roles by simply replacing the top. In the present example, the removable top conceals a rectangular recess for a shuanglu (a Chinese version of backgammon) board, other gaming boards such as xiangqi and weiqi (Chinese equivalents of chess and checkers), as well as two cylindrical game piece cups.Games tables have a long history in China and were manufactured since at least the Warring States period (476-221 BC), when the highly entertaining divination game liubo, the favourite mental relaxation of rulers, became popular and remained so until the end of the Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 AD). Archaeological evidence yielded several liubo boards from royal tomb complexes dating to these periods; see J.Rawson, Mysteries of Ancient China, London, pp.159–161; and also R.H.Ellsworth, N.Grindley and A.Christy, Chinese Furniture: One Hundred Examples from the Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection, New York, 1996, p.146.Tables containing weiqi boards, such as the present example, were probably first created during the Tang dynasty (618-906), and became popular during the Song dynasty (960-1279), particularly during the reign of the Xuanzong emperor. According to literary sources, 'When the Emperor's consort saw that he was losing, she untied one of her miniature dogs, which promptly jumped onto the weiqi board and disarranged the pieces, to the Emperor's delight'; see S.Handler, Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture, Berkeley, 2001, p.187; and also C.Mackenzie and I.Finkel, Asian Games: The Art of Contest, New York, 2004, pp.186-201.In the eighteenth century, game tables were frequently depicted in contemporary paintings and woodblock illustrations; see, for example, the painting 'Picking flowers by a pavilion', Fang ting cai hua by Yao Wen-han (18th century), in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in New Visions at the Ch'ing Court. Giuseppe Castiglione and Western-Style Trends, Taipei, 2007, no.32.For a huanghuali games table of rectangular form, 17th century, see the example in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which, like the present example, has removable game boards but features giant's-arm braces, illustrated by R.H.Ellsworth, Chinese Furniture. Hardwood Examples of the Ming and Early Ch'ing Dynasties, New York, 1971, pl.73. A slightly-earlier huanghuali games table, Ming dynasty, is illustrated by G.Wu Bruce in Dreams of Chu Tan Chamber and the Romance with Huanghuali Woods: The Dr. S. Y. Yip Collection of Classic Chinese Furniture, Hong Kong, 1991, pp.82-83.Other examples of huanghuali games tables include a recessed-leg table with removable top in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, illustrated by R.D.Jacobsen and N.Grindley, Classical Chinese Furniture, Minneapolis, 1999, pp.114-117, no.37, and a zitan square games table, 17th century, from the T.T. Tsui Museum of Art, Hong Kong, illustrated by S.Handler, Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture, Berkeley, 2001, p.201. A slightly smaller huanghuali games table, 18th century, was sold at Sotheby's New York, 9-10 October 1987, lot 398. See also a rectangular example formerly in the collection of Robert Hatfield Ellsworth, which was sold at Christie's New York, 17 March 2015, lot 44.黃花梨木色澤明麗，木料呈現有如蜂蜜般的細膩材質；造型簡潔，有束腰，飾雲紋式角牙，足下內翻馬蹄；加之匠心獨運，活桌面下黃楊木框，內嵌圍棋、象棋用的方形雙面折疊棋盤，棋盤揭開後，下面是低陷的雙陸棋盤，棋盤側鏇圓口棋子盒兩個，桌側四面各有一抽屜，小巧隱蔽。棋桌於中國歷史悠久，早在戰國時期，六博就是人們特別是權貴階層喜聞樂見的娛樂活動，並持續流行至東漢末期。此時期的皇家陵墓中曾出土多件六博棋盤，見J.Rawson著，《Mysteries of Ancient China》，倫敦，1996年，頁159-161；以及安思遠、N.Grindley與A.Christy合著，《 Chinese Furniture: One Hundred Examples from the Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection（洪氏所藏木器百圖）》，紐約，1996年，頁146。形如本品的圍棋棋桌或最早見於唐代，至宋代更為流行。唐人段成式所著《酉陽雜俎》就曾記述過唐玄宗李隆基「康猧亂局」之軼事，「上（玄宗）夏日嘗與親王碁...... 貴妃立於局前觀之，上數枰子將輸，貴妃放康國（唐時西域）猧子於坐側，猧子乃上局，局子亂，上大悅」。詳見S.Handler著，《Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture》，伯克利，2001年，頁187；及C.Mackenzie與I.Finkel著，《Asian Games: The Art of Contest》，紐約，2004年，頁186-201。明清時期，棋桌愈發流行，多見方形設計，桌面活板裝卸簡易，除對弈之功用外，亦可作為餐桌，甚為實用。至十八世紀，棋桌時常出現於書畫及木刻版畫中，如台北故宮博物院所藏，清姚文瀚等繪《山水樓臺畫冊 芳亭採花》，收錄於《新視界: 郎世寧與清宮西洋風》，台北， 2007年，編號32。費城藝術博物館所藏一件十七世紀黃花梨長方棋桌，與本品同樣具有可裝卸的棋盤，惟以霸王棖聯結，可資參考；見安思遠著，《Chinese Furniture：Hardwood Examples of the Ming and Early Ch'ing Dynasties》，紐約，1971年，圖版73。另見一件明代黃花梨棋桌，較本品稍早，收錄於伍嘉恩著，《Dreams of Chu Tan Chamber and the Romance with Huanghuali Woods: The Dr. SY Yip Collection of Classic Chinese Furniture》，香港，1991年，頁82-83。另有明尼阿波利斯美術館藏一例黃花梨夾頭榫活面棋桌，見R.D.Jacobsen與N.Grindley著，《明尼阿波利斯藝術館藏中國古典家具》，明尼阿波利斯，1999年，頁114-7，編號37；及香港徐展堂藝術館所藏一件十七世紀紫檀方桌式棋桌，見S.Handler著，《Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture》，伯克利，2001年，頁201。一件十八世紀黃花梨棋桌，較本品略小，售於紐約蘇富比，1987年10月9-10日，拍品編號398；以及安思遠舊藏一件長方桌面黃花梨束腰活面棋桌，售於紐約蘇富比，2015年3月17日，拍品編號44，可為比較。
