拍品專文

頂箱櫃,即方角立櫃及頂箱上下合成。局部或整體以樟木製者並不罕見,蓋取其防蟲之功效。

古時衣袍並非垂掛,而是摺疊後平放於箱籠或屜板之上。少數大櫃更於櫃門左右釘合頁加裝餘塞板,如故宮博物院藏一清代黃花梨百寶嵌大四件櫃,見王世襄《明清家具珍賞》,1986年,編號149。維多利亞與艾爾伯特博物館藏艾惕思爵士(Sir John Addis)捐贈一對黃花梨頂箱櫃(圖1),櫃門裝有活銷,容易裝卸,以便官員朝服先垂直摺疊再而平放於櫃內屜板。

愛氏舊藏與本櫃中心之銅活皆以白銅所製,兩者均用八角雲頭式面葉,上有雙魚式吊牌。惟本櫃比例更見匀稱平衡,造型較之優雅。整櫃之設計重心落在中央面頁,與邊框上相對小巧之八角雲紋合葉相互輝映。櫃身通體光素,黃花梨木紋華美細膩,而銅活之尺寸比例則恰到好處,恬靜不喧。仔細觀察立櫃上截之合頁飾件,可見其尺寸略小,乃是經過深思熟慮的巧妙安排。
