Condition
The pair of armchairs are remarkable for retaining its original elements. There are filled holes at the top rail, the arms and legs indicating the previous presence of reinforcing metal strap mounts. Each chair has patch repairs to losses on the flange brackets to either side of the splat as well as to the shaped panel comprising the lowest section of the splat. There are other filled repairs and minor patch repairs to the spandreled aprons.

拍品資料及來源
喜相逢
四出頭官帽椅，造型獨特，極盡優雅，是次拍賣兩對（編號31及32）正屬其中臻例。其比例落落大方，質感層次豐富，雕紋虛實相生，線條利落，起伏有致，自來備受青睞鑽研。迥異紋飾風格及材質大膽結合，倍顯藝匠高超造詣。現載早期例作僅有數例，尺寸、紋飾稍異，但搭腦均甚平直，靠背搭腦兩側出頭、透雕福字紋，鑲癭木面心，聯幫棍上作竹節式，下呈寶瓶式，卷口牙子綿伏彎曲，兩旁直牙秀起出尖。
類本品者，現知有十一，其中四件、共兩對出自收藏名家費立哲神父雅蓄，於本拍賣釋出，編號31及32。此外僅有一例成對，出自John Alex McCone故藏，售紐約蘇富比1992年6月3日，編號348，現為美國私人收藏，原裝癭木面心已失，後換黃花梨面心。洪氏收藏一椅，圖見安思遠、Nicholas Grindley及Anita Christy，《洪氏所藏木器百圖》，紐約，1996年，圖版10。另有一例，高度稍低，由馮耀輝收藏，圖見柯惕思，《兩依藏玩閒談》，香港，2000年，圖版10。紐約蘇富比曾售另一例，2007年3月19日，編號305，現為私人收藏。華盛頓西雅圖Cheney Cowles收藏一椅，圖見柯惕思，，《The Journal of the Classical Chinese Furniture Society》，1993年春，頁24-33，圖3。再比一例，現藏明尼阿波利斯美術館，福字紋稍異，出自洛杉磯收藏，曾後換大理石面心，現已換回癭木，圖見Robert D. Jacobsen及Nicholas Grindley，《Classical Chinese Furniture in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts》，明尼阿波利斯，1999年，圖版9。據作者述，該椅發現於日本京都大徳寺。
另可參見一對燈掛椅例，出自安思遠收藏，圖見《Chinese Furniture, Hardwood Examples of the Ming and Early Ch’ing Dynasties》，紐約，1970年，圖版22。此對椅無透雕福字紋飾，唯細觀之下，可見福字輪廓。
柯惕思曾著文章詳細研究此組椅，見，《The Journal of the Classical Chinese Furniture Society》，1993年春，頁24-33。柯氏列舉十九例，包括或為較後期例作，以及靠背光素無紋飾之例。以拍賣兩對椅精緻程度推論，應出自同一作坊，製作時期亦當相近。作者論述椅上吉祥紋飾，除福字紋外，寶瓶竹節式聯幫棍更寓竹報平安，作為新婚賀禮，極為合宜，寄托幸福平安之美意。仿古設計，更添吉祥寓意，仰思先賢智慧，開拓未來新貌。
