Asian antique furniture category
First, Chinese chairs
The Chinese sat on the table or mat for thousands of years, using the thighs together and sitting on the heel. In the 10th century, chairs were generally used, but the earliest ones that survived were the chairs of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Only important family members and guests can use the chair, and women can only sit on the stool. Although the form of Chinese chairs has changed little over the years, the differences in the styles of the two generations of chairs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1644-1912) can still be seen.
Second, the table
In Asia, tables appear earlier than chairs. The functions of tables in China, Japan, and Korea are very obvious, such as writing, painting, and eating, and of course there are some less obvious uses—such as sitting on top or sleeping.
1. Chinese table
The form of Chinese tables has changed little for centuries. There are only two versions of the standard table: one is that the table legs are mounted under the table, and one table legs are mounted at the four corners. There is also a crossbar connection between the legs of the latter to prevent the legs of the table from propping outward. This table also often has a recessed waist (between the table top and the table support) and a horseshoe-shaped table foot. Regardless of the size and decoration of the table, it basically conforms to the above two types. Even if the chair is in China, people need to use a higher table, the different types of low table are still very popular, especially the table - ç‚• is a brick hollow platform used in northern China, people are Sleep above and heat up below.
2. Japanese and Korean tables
Japan and South Korea have limited demand for furniture because of the tradition of sitting and sleeping on the floor. However, there are also a lot of low tables in these two countries. What you can see today is the products produced after the 19th century, but much less than the Chinese counterparts. The two countries write and eat on the table, and the table often reflects the influence of Chinese design on them. For example, a table rolled up at the table is very similar to what China calls "the edge of a bird's tail upturned table." These small places are often decorated with lacquers, engravers and inlays.
Third, the locker
Asia cannot tolerate chaos before entering modern society. People's property - although very poor from Western standards - is stored in specially designed furniture. In Japan and South Korea, this is the cupboard - although the name is a cabinet, it has a wide range of meanings, including a wide range of elaborately crafted furniture. In China, the cabinet is just one of several furniture forms that serve the purpose of storage.
1. Chinese lockers
"There is no special knowledge or skill to make a box or cabinet. Their value lies in the ability to store a large amount of things, and they are well preserved." Ming Dynasty scholar Li Yu (1611 - about 1680) commented in a fairly straightforward manner. In China, whether it is a large cabinet that requires a ladder to reach the top lattice, or a box of clothes made of eucalyptus that can drive off insects, or a small box of condiments, all forms of storage furniture It fully meets the standard mentioned by Li Yu. In the chests and cabinets, there are drawers that Li Yu is obsessed with ("It's easy to get it, but it's lost"), and sometimes it is the secret of hiding valuable property.
2. Japanese and Korean storage furniture
The cabinet is a perfect expression of the Japanese and Korean way of life: it can be obtained from the place where it is sitting, allowing the owner to carry the property to others, which often combines elegance and practicality. In Japan, according to the things to be stored, such as clothes, tea, masks and swords, the shape and size of the cabinets are ever-changing. Among them, the most impressive cabinet is the funa-dansu, which is a waterproof structure with many hidden small lattices; the other is a multi-functional ladder cabinet. The most common forms in Korea are reclining cabinets and closets. Many cabinets use sliding doors and hinged wood panels instead of drawers, but this feature did not begin until 1910.
Fourth, the bed
We have to sleep every day. But where are you sleeping? In Japan and North Korea, until the modern era, this "where" also meant sleeping on a mat or mat, plus pillows and quilts. In China, we should say that we use the "bed", but it is not the bed where most of us sleep today. It was a huge wooden structure with "drawers made of silk, sometimes decorated with flowers made of gold." The beds are often decorated with patterns, with low tables, pillows and cushions. It's not just a place to sleep, but a place to rest and entertain with friends.
Fifth, export furniture
Until the early 20th century, most Westerners' interest in Asian furniture was limited to lacquered furniture. In the 18th century, lacquered furniture from China and Japan was taken apart and the boards were loaded onto Western furniture. In the 18th century, Japan and China also began to specialize in furniture for overseas markets. These pieces of furniture have every decorative feature that their producers are familiar with - lacquering, setting, gilding, engraving and coloring - but the effects are overstated and seem to transcend the interest of Asians.
