Pair of Zitan AND burl wood Square Stools

40×40×50.5 cm (15 3/4×15 3/4×19 7/8 in. )

出版:《洪氏所藏木器百圖》(Chinese Furniture: One Hundred and Three Examples from the Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection)第二卷,圖23,Privately Published•Hong Kong•2005,第57頁。
Each stool has a rectangular floating panel of burl wood set within a zitan frame with its curved edge protruding over the straight apron, and straight squared legs terminating in high hoof feet. Squared hump-backed stretchers secure the construction.
The present pair is an interesting example of the disintegration of style: the high hoof foot that is typical of Kangxi furniture has been slightly cut down, and decorative non-structural ruyi-head struts have been inserted above the humpbacked stretchers.
—Robert H. Ellsworth (Chinese Funiture: The Hung Collection)
