Although Chinese chairs are traditionally fitted with a footrest stretcher, a larger separate footrest was more comfortable to use. For a discussion on footrests, refer to S. Handler, Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture, Berkeley, 2001, pp. 213-4. Compare a similar huanghuali footrest with rollers, also dated 18th/19th century, sold in these rooms, 21 September 2004, lot 5.
