RARE TABLE EN HUANGHUALI, QIAOTOUANXVIIe/XVIIIe siècle A FINE AND RARE HUANGHUALI RECESSED-LEG TABLE, QIAOTOUAN 17th/18th century The table defined by a rectangular top terminating in everted flanges on the shorter ends, supported on a frame formed by the long beaded-edge apron decorated with ruyi spandrels, the rectangular legs housing the long aprons decorated with interlocking geometric designs, the legs and feet framing an inset reticulated panel carved with a cusped cartouche decorated with designs of sinuous chilong writhing amidst vaporous clouds. 178cm (70in) long x 83cm (32 5/8in) high x 40.5cm (15 7/8in) deep.Footnotes:Provenance:Jean-Pierre Rousset, Paris (1936-2021), acquired in the 1980'sIn Chinese households of the late Ming and Qing dynasties, tables of such impressive proportions with upturned ends demonstrated the high status and wealth of their owners. Tables of this type are discussed in Wen Zhenheng's (1585-1645) influential Treatise on Superfluous Things (Zhang wu zhi), the late 17th century guide to refined taste. In his treatise Wen recommended that such tables were placed underneath a painting and even suggested that 'one may place such things as fantastic rocks, seasonal flowers, or miniature tray-landscapes; but avoid garish objects such as red lacquerware'. Although Wen warned against the use of excessive carving, the lively openwork panels on this table are balanced by the simplicity of the apron and spandrels.See a closely related huanghuali side-table, late 16th/early 17th century (188cm long), illustrated by G.Wu Bruce, The Dr. S.Y. Yip Collection of Classic Chinese Furniture, Hong Kong, 1991, pp.74-75, no.25. Compare also a huanghuali altar table of larger proportions and with more exuberantly carved spandrels, from the Florence and Herbert Irving collection, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and see also a much larger example in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, illustrated by S.Handler, Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture, Berkeley, 2001, pp.237-238, pls.14.16 and 14.17.

See also a related larger huanghuali altar table, circa 17th century, formerly with Compagnie de la Chine et des Indes, Paris, which was sold at Christie's Paris, 12 December 2019, lot 32.Dans les maisons chinoises de la fin des Ming et de la dynastie Qing, les tables aux dimensions aussi impressionnantes et aux extrémités relevées en queues d'oiseaux montraient le statut et la richesse de leurs propriétaires. Les tables de ce genre sont mentionnées dans l'important livre de Wen Zhenheng (1585-1645), Traité des choses superflues (Zhang wu zhi), le guide de la vie élégante de la fin du XVIIe siècle. Dans son traité, Wen recommande de placer ces tables sous une peinture et suggère même d'y 'poser des pierres étranges, fleurs de saisons ou paysages miniatures en pot, mais (d') éviter les objets voyants comme les laques cinabres'. Bien que Wen déconseille l'usage excessif de décor sculpté, les panneaux ajourés au décor animé de cette table sont équilibrés par la simplicité du tablier et de ses pendants.Voir un exemple très comparable de table en huanghuali, fin XVIe/début XVIIe siècle (188 cm de long), illustrée dans G.

TRÈS RARE ET IMPORTANTE TABLE EN HUANGHUALI SURMONTÉE D'UN PLATEAU EN PIERRE PORTANT UNE INSCRIPTIONFin de la dynastie Ming (XVIe/XVIIe siècle) AN IMPORTANT AND VERY RARE HUANGHUALI INSCRIBED STONE-TOP TABLE Late Ming Dynasty (16th/17th century)Of rectangular form with a single floating purplish-grey and green stone panel, likely duan stone, inscbied with a calligraphic inscription, set in a mitred frame of mortise and tenon construction with moulded edges, above straight waist and a plain apron, supported on four legs of slender square section terminating in hoof feet and joined by humpback stretchers, the well-grained lustrous wood of warm amber-honey tone. 89cm (35in) high x 150cm (59in) wide x 58.7cm (23in) deep. The stone 98.2cm (38 5/8in) wide x 42.5cm (16 5/8in) long.Footnotes:Provenance:Jean-Pierre Rousset, Paris (1936-2021), acquired in the 1980'sTables with a stone top such as the present lot were particularly useful when playing the guqin – a seven stringed zither – with sound boxes underneath. The stone surface allowed the sounds to bounce off and reverberate more loudly. The inscription at the right corner of the stone top highlights its dual use of supporting the musical instrument as well as for reading. Following is the inscription:質賦衡峰,貞似玉溫,而理瑩,而穆二,奏虞弦,熏風處,續人對,明光佇,瞻補牘,朝文Which may be translated as:Its quality is harder than Hengshan mountain,The texture as smooth and gentle as jade.Playing qin solemnly on the lustrous marble top,And feeling the gentle breeze.Reading under the bright light,Dedicated to the Court: duty, loyalty and diligence.Seal: Zhao Wen (朝文)As the poetic inscription suggests, the present table would have been suitable for playing the qin, or for reading, aiding in study and serving the Court. A very similar table of more narrow form and without stone top, late 16th/early 17th century, is illustrated by Grace Wu Bruce, Living with Ming: the Lu Ming Shi Collection, Paris, 2000, p.110, no.23. The author notes on that tables with stone tops are quite rare, 'presumably because they break and perish at a higher rate compared to their wooden counterparts', see ibid., p.12. See also another related huanghuali table of similar form, but without a stone top, circa 1550-1650, illustrated by C.Clunas, Chinese Furniture, London, 1997, p.49. The author notes that according to the Classic of Lu Ban, this is a xiao qin zhuo shi, 'small qin table type'. That the present table is also inscribed with a poem, perhaps signifies its importance to literati gatherings where the qin was played, poetry recited, paintings and calligraphy written and exchanged. It is more likely that such a table with a poetic inscription and imbued with cultural capital would be more suitable for playing the qin, one of the Four Arts of the Scholar along with qi (chess), shu (calligraphy), and hua (painting).See a huanghuali incense table with stone top, inscribed with various collectors seals, Ming dynasty, including that of Xiang Yuanbian, which was sold at Poly Beijing, on 28 July 2022, lot 5563.Les tables similaires à celle-ci étaient particulièrement utiles pour jouer du guqin - une cithare à sept cordes- le plateau en pierre formant une caisse de résonance. En effet, la surface en pierre permettait aux sons de rebondir et de se réverbérer plus fort. L'inscription au coin droit de la pierre souligne son usage double : celui de support pour l'instrument de musique ou pour la lecture:質賦衡峰,貞似玉溫,而理瑩,而穆二,奏虞弦,熏風處,續人對,明光佇,瞻補牘,朝文 Que l'on pourrait traduire ainsi:D'une qualité plus dure que le Mont Heng,Son grain aussi doux que le jade,Jouer du qin avec solennité sur la pierre brillante,Et sentir la brise tièdeLire sous la lumière vive,Dédié à la Cour : devoir, loyauté et diligenceSceau: Zhao Wen 朝文 Comme le suggère l'inscription poétique, cette table aurait convenu pour jouer du qin, ou pour lire, utile dans le cabinet du lettré et pour servir la Cour. Une table très semblable, mais plus étroite et sans plateau en pierre, fin du XVIe ou début du XVIIe siècle, est illustrée dans Grace Wu Bruce, Living with Ming: the Lu Ming Shi Collection, Paris, 2000, p.110, n°23. L'auteur note que les tables à plateau en pierre sont assez rares, « probablement parce qu'elles se cassent et disparaissent davantage que celles en bois. », Ibid. p.112.Voir également une autre table en huanghuali de forme similaire mais sans plateau en pierre, vers 1550-1650, illustrée dans C.Clunas, Chinese Furniture, London, 1997, p.49. L'auteur écrit que d'après le Classique de Lu Ban, il s'agit d'une xiao qin zhuo shi, un type de petite table à qin. Le fait que cette table soit gravée d'un poème est peut-être une indication de son importance lors de réunion de lettrés où l'on jouait du qin, récitait de la poésie ou réalisait et échangeait des poèmes et calligraphies. Cette table, dotée d'une inscription poétique, était particulièrement appropriée pour jouer du qin, un des Quatre Arts du Lettré avec les échecs (qi), la calligraphie (shu) et la peinture (hua).Voir une table à encens en huanghuali avec un plateau en pierre, inscrite de plusieurs sceaux de collectionneurs, dont celui de Xiang Yuanbian, dynastie Ming, vendue chez Poly à Pékin le 28 juillet 2022, lot 5563.明晚期 黃花梨四面平式嵌石面詩文條桌來源:巴黎Jean-Pierre Rousset(1936-2021)舊藏,於二十世紀八十年代前入藏因石質空隙易與聲響產生共鳴,可作為音響加強音色,如本拍品般之嵌石面條桌尤宜作為琴桌使用。刻於該桌桌面右側的詩文亦引證其曾為士人琴桌及書桌的角色:質賦衡峰,貞似玉溫而理瑩,而穆二,奏虞弦,熏風處,續人對,明光佇,瞻補牘,朝文。與本拍品相類但稍窄且無石桌面之十六/十七世紀早期琴桌 可見於伍嘉恩(Grace Wu Bruce)著,Living with Ming: the Lu...
