With its origins in architectural forms, the spare, economical lines of this design make it one of the classic forms of Chinese furniture. The basic proportions were adapted to make large painting tables, tables, benches and stools. This form is referred to in the Classic of Lu Ban as a 'character one' table due to its similarity in profile to the single horizontal stroke of the Chinese character for one. Several examples of this elegant form have been published. See Splendor of Style Classical Furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, National Museum of History, Taipei, 1999, p. 143, for a large huanghuali recessed-leg painting table of similar form, dated to the 16th or 17th century. See, also, G. Ecke, Chinese Domestic Furniture, Rutland Tokyo, 1962, pl. 46, no. 36, for another example in huanghuali. Compare, also, several similar huanghuali recessed-leg tables sold at Christie's New York 21 September 2004, lot 34; 19 September 2007, lot 131; and 17 September 2008, lot 160. A larger huanghuali recessed-leg table is offered in the current as lot 4076.
