Curtis Evarts:

The huanghuali and wumu canopy bed exhibits a unique pattern with a bamboo-style (yuanbaoyuan) platform, spindle railings with round wanzi medallions, and interlocked circle motifs above and below. The platform has a massive stance with powerful round legs, while the canopy is light and airy. Jet black wumu was used for the posts of the canopy and spindles of the railings, and its juxtaposition with the warm-toned huanghuali timber also provides a striking decorative effect.

Although the use of huanghuali and wumu is rare for canopy beds, a number of similarly styled rose chairs with spindle armrests and backrests are known (fig. 1). The huanghuali book shelf formerly in the Museum of Classical Furniture was also crafted with wumu decoration (fig. 2).The style of these various objects is complementary, and some may possibly have been produced in the same workshops. The use of wumu for furniture-making was particularly popular in the Weiyang region of Northern Jiangsu, which is quite possibly the origin of this canopy bed.

The stature of this bed particularly noble in bearing.
