The simplicity and elegance of form of this type of cabinet is representative of the classical Ming style. The combination of design, perfect proportions and precise craftsmanship lend these cabinets a refined elegance and sense of balance and stability. A slightly larger pair of cabinets (70 in. high), illustrated by Robert Hatfield Ellsworth, Nicholas Grindley and Anita Christy, Chinese Furniture - One Hundred Examples from the Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection, New York, 1996, pp. 190-191, no. 74, is fitted with similarly carved shaped spandrels.
