專家說明

A pair of huanghuali ‘Southern Official’s Hat’ armchairs, also constructed with a box-form base with square members which terminate in powerful hoof feet, is illustrated by R. H. Ellsworth in Chinese Furniture: One Hundred Examples from the Mimi and Raymond Hung Collection, New York, 1996, vol. 1, pp. 64-5, no. 12. Like the present single chair, the pair retains some of the metal mounts over the joints. A related huanghuali ‘Southern Official’s Hat’ armchair of similar form and construction but with a less pronounced crestrail is illustrated by R.H. Ellsworth in Chinese Furniture: Hardwood Examples of the Ming and Early Ch’ing Dynasties, New York, 1971, pp. 112-113, pl. 5.
