Condition

In keeping with its use in a domestic setting there is expected wear and tear, minor bruises, especially at the tips of the legs, and age cracks as expected of late Ming/early Qing furniture, especially on the upper surface of the table. The points where one of the longer stretchers meets the legs have been strengthened. The underside retains its original patina.

拍品資料及來源

金與元朝(1115-1368年)的壁畫中,已見此明代大盛的設計,家具專家學者均推崇為永恆的經典代表。

半桌,南方稱合仙,皆同樣意義。半桌,方桌之半;合仙,二合為八仙桌。據說半桌的古代用途是接上方桌,令可供圍坐人數增加。

黃花梨造半桌,製作在中國古典家具的顛峰期。結構堅實美觀,用料講究。

此桌桌面為標準格角榫攢邊打槽平鑲獨板面心,下裝三根穿帶出梢支承,其中二根出透榫。抹頭亦可見明榫。邊抹立面向下內縮至底壓一平線。束腰與起線的直牙條,兩邊為一木連做,以抱肩榫與腿足,桌面結合,腿足頂端出雙榫納入桌框底部,下展至底收以形狀美好的馬蹄足。牙條下有羅鍋棖微縮入內以榫卯納入四足間。
