Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Included. English text.; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 24 x 31 cm.; 2.2 Kg.; 328 pages with 332 colour and 187 black-and-white illustrations, 52 line drawings and 37 measured drawings.; Used with signs of wear on the dust jacket, namely some scratches on the front and rear cover and also edgewear. Interior in very good condition with minor signs of wear. Good condition overall.; The original Chinese edition, Ming shi jiaju zhen shang, was co-published by Joint Publishing Co. (UK) and Cultural Relics Publishing House, Beijing, China, in 1985.; The products of China's golden age of cabinetmaking, the Ming and early Qing periods (c. 1400-1735), are greatly appreciated for their technical and artistic quality. This quality had made possible their incorporation into the aesthetics of contemporary Western design. Despite the manifest quality of classic Chinese furniture, China's voluminous literary record sheds little light on the subject, and until now no Chinese monograph had been devoted to it. Classic Chinese Furniture is the crowning achievement of China's leading contemporary scholar and collector in the field, Wang Shixiang. This volume represents the culmination of over forty years of intense and dedicated research by the author. This definitive work, the first by a Chinese author on Chinese furniture, illustrates one hundred and sixty-two pieces from all over China, selected by the author with a rigorous regard to quality and to a more complete coverage of Chinese furniture's many forms than has been published previously. Firmly based on the study of a wide body of material, on long investigation of surviving objects and on a familiarity with relevant written sources, the author's discussion breaks new ground, while at the same time clearing up many of the misconceptions of connoisseurs and collectors. As well as being richly illustrated with photographs of important pieces, Classic Chinese Furniture contains over 50 line drawings and comprehensive essays on the origins, development, use, materials, and contemporary significance of the craft of furniture making. This volume will be indispensable to scholars of Chinese art and design, to historians and designers of furniture, as well as to all who simply want to know more about this most enduring facet of China's artistic and craft traditions.
