The present pair of cabinets, with their simple lines and elegant forms, represents one of the most popular and successful designs in Chinese furniture construction widely used in cabinet making throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Known as yuanjiaogui (round-corner tapered cabinet), the stiles of the cabinet are recessed from the corner of the top and slope gently outward in a subtle splay which gives the cabinet the sense of balance and stability.
The sizes of this type of cabinets range from those suitable for kang table tops to much larger ones made for storage purposes. A round-corner tapered cabinet of similar proportions but made with huanghuali and nanmu, was sold at Christie’s new York, 15 September 2011, lot 1339.
