The curling and upturning acanthus leaves of the backrests, blending elegantly within the interlocking designs of stylised chilong, were certainly drawn from the repertoire of Rococo art.

A pair of huanghuali horseshoe-back chairsQing Dynasty Each with a rectangular seat supporting a slightly curved splat carved in low relief with a lobed panel depicting a bat suspending a tasselled chime, beneath the horseshoe-shaped back carved in the centre with a further bat, resting on curved supports forming the arms and extending through the seat into the straight rail legs, the aprons at the front and sides carved with ruyi scrolls and the legs joined above the feet with four stretchers.Each 108cm (42 1/2in) high x 62cm (24 1/2in) wide x 48cm (18 7/8in) deep (2).Footnotes:清 黃花梨福磬紋圈椅成對The present pair of huanghuali chairs is a direct continuation of late Ming/ early Qing dynasty horseshoe-back chairs; for a related carving on the back splat, see a huanghuali chair, Qianlong, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Beijing, 2007, pl.58. For a similarly carved apron on a zitan armchair, 18th/19th century, see C.Evarts, Splendor of Style: Classical Furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Taipei, 1999, p.88.The decoration on the present lot is highly auspicious. The bat (fu 蝠) is a homophone for 'good fortune' (fu 福). Furthermore, the musical stone or chime (qing 磬) is a homophone with 'high ranking official (qing 卿) and 'celebration' (qing 庆). Thus the bat and chime together symbolise wealth and prosperity.Compare with a related pair of huanghuali chairs which was sold at Bonhams London, 14 May 2015, lot 284.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
