Book Synopsis Classical Chinese Furniture by : Marcus Flacks
Download or read book Classical Chinese Furniture written by Marcus Flacks and published by . This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique publication illuminates a fascinating and little-known area of Chinese decorative art--Chinese furniture of the 16th-18th centuries. These beautiful chairs, stools, cabinets, and tables are highly sought after and have become the fastest-growing area of collecting within China itself. Author Marcus Flacks begins the book with a historical overview to place the furniture in context and then traces the trends and changes in collecting over the past 30 years. The heart of "Classical Chinese Furniture" is the presentation of 52 masterpieces--all exceptional examples of great rarity--accompanied by detailed descriptions. These outstanding pieces--most never published before--teach an important lesson on the Chinese approach to aesthetics, craftsmanship, architecture, and culture. They have even affected, directly or indirectly, much of 20th-century art, design, and architecture. Complete with invaluable appendices that visually unlock the secrets of timber, joinery, regional production, and the art of restoration, "Classical Chinese Furniture" is an essential volume for collectors and experts--Western and Chinese alike--as well as for anyone interested in furniture, aesthetics, and interiors, or simply fascinated by the extraordinary beauty of the pieces themselves. Praise for "Classical Chinese Furniture" "One new tome coming out that I can't wait to get my manicured hands on is "Classical Chinese Furniture" by Marcus Flacks.

Download or read book Classical Chinese Huanghuali Furniture from the Haven Collection written by Chu-Pak Lau and published by Hku Museum and Art Gallery. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The University Museum and Art Gallery at the University of Hong Kong presents Classical Chinese Huanghuali Furniture from the Haven Collection and publishes this informative edition in conjunction with the exhibition. Chinese huanghuali furniture is world-famous and, for the longest time, has been collected in both East and West. The fine selection displayed here shows both domestic furniture and scholars' items, such as brush pots and chests. In Ming dynasty China, traditional wood architecture and Buddhist thrones inspired Chinese furniture makers and, as trade expanded, so did the amount of hardwood furniture in the form of sophisticated movable pieces and built-in interiors. Ming furniture is known for its elegant lines and carved details. During the reign of Emperor Longqing (1567-1572) China opened its borders, previously implemented import bans were lifted and a greater variety of building materials became available. Consequently, during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911) the most celebrated types of domestic furniture were made from huanghuali and zitan woods. The elegant dark hardwood with natural shine is remarkable for the fact that Chinese furniture is typically made from solid timber, not an invisible subconstruction covered by a decorative veneer, as is so often the case in the West. The strength of each individual element of a piece of furniture and the consistent color matter, as every detail is exposed and the precision of the joints and the size and position of the dowels are all visual elements of an often simple and graceful design. In some pieces the joints are detectible and accessible, sometimes demountable, or else expertly hidden in the more sophisticated pieces. Applied surface finishes were generally only a layer of wax; no stains or clear lacquer seals were added to the dense and inherently decorative woods.
