专家说明

Compare a related two-drawer huanghuali coffer also exhibiting the same elegant splay of the legs joined by the finely carved cusped apron illustrated by S. Handler in Ming Furniture in the Light of Chinese Architecture, Berkeley, 2005, p. 173. See, also a three-drawer altar coffer in the Victoria & Albert Museum, set with elaborate openwork side spandrels illustrated by C. Clunas in Chinese Furniture, London, 1988, p. 84, pl. 68. For a discussion of this form, refer to Curtis Everts, "The Enigmatic Altar Coffer," Journal of the Classical Chinese Furniture Society, Autumn 1994, pp. 29-44.
