注意事项
Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit the importation of property containing materials from endangered species, including but not limited to coral, ivory and tortoiseshell. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should familiarize themselves with relevant customs regulations prior to bidding if they intend to import this lot into another country. Please note that this lot is subject to an import tariff. The amount of the import tariff due is a percentage of the final hammer price plus buyer's premium. The buyer should contact Post Sale Services prior to the sale to determine the estimated amount of the import tariff. If the buyer instructs Christie's to arrange shipping of the lot to a foreign address the buyer will not be required to pay the import tariff, but the shipment may be delayed while awaiting approval to export from the local government. If the buyer instructs Christie's to arrange shipping of the lot to a domestic address, if the buyer collects the property in person, or if the buyer arranges their own shipping (whether domestically or internationally), the buyer will be required to pay the import tariff. For the purpose of calculating sales tax, if applicable, the import tariff will be added to the final hammer price plus buyer's premium and sales tax will be collected as per The Buyer's Premium and Taxes section of the Conditions of Sale.

The parquetry design seen on the doors of the present chest is an example of the cross cultural exchange between Europe and China during the Qing dynasty. Parquetry, and the related technique marquetry, was a European practice seen in furniture from the 18th century, whereby woods of contrasting color and grain were mixed to create complex geometric patterns and floral designs or landscape scenes. A parquetry-embellished zitan corner-leg table dated to the late 18th-19th century, inlaid in a geometric pattern with zitan, huanghuali, and nanmu, was sold at Christie’s New York, 13 September 2019.
