Seller Description
Published privately by My Humble House (1996) and released in Hong Kong for distribution (2006). 253 pages. Fully illustrated in color, in English and Chinese by C. Y. Tsai, with comments by Wang Shixiang and Alice Lam. Cloth bound and slip-cased. See all photos above for table of contents. Features examples of Chinese furniture from the Ming dynasty to the early 20th century (while most are from the 18th century Ching dynasty). There is an extensive section on smaller furnishings and scholar objects, and many featured items show details of the wood grain and color and the superb carving. Tsai sought to disambiguate the various words used in different regions of Asia to describe huali, hongmu, and zitan, as well as to distinguish old growth zitan with recent examples of the species. Like new condition with only minor shelf wear to the slip case and a few creases to the pages.
