Lot Essay

Foot rests have been used in association with a wide array of furniture, including chairs, couches, painting tables, beds and thrones. See Robert H. Ellsworth, Chinese Furniture: One Hundred Examples from the Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection, New York, 1996, pp. 58-9, no. 9, for a pair of similar 17th century foot rests used in conjunction with a 'four-corner's exposed' offical's hat armchair.
