Dr. Gustav and Betty Ecke first met Albert C. and Frances Zane Chock at the Honolulu Art Academy, but their friendship was cemented when they became neighbors. Their houses were separated by hairpin turns on the lone road that joined windward O’ahu with downtown Honolulu. Avoided by many as the site of the retreating Kamehameha ghost warriors, Mr. Chock chose this stretch of the path leading to the Nu’uanu Pali to build his home. Mrs. Chock’s fireplace was the scene for many elegant society parties, which the Eckes attended, and she maintained her friendship with Betty after Dr. Ecke’s death. Upon Dr. Ecke’s recommendation, the Chocks acquired the huanghuali table and the huanghuali chair (lot 999) for their home.PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE HAWAIIAN COLLECTION

The spare, economic lines of the recessed-leg table makes this form one of the most elegant furniture forms. Throughout the Ming period, recessed-leg tables are seen in woodblock prints and paintings, often adorned with antiques and placed within a variety of interiors, including the scholar's studio. A huanghuali recessed-leg table, dated to the seventeenth century, is illustrated by R.D. Jacobsen and N. Grindley, Classical Chinese Furniture in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis, 1999, p. 123, no. 40. Another table of similar form, but shorter in length, was sold at Christie's New York, 22-23 March 2018, lot 964.
