拍品描述

英文品名：A PAIR OF SMALL GOLDEN-THREAD NANMU CABINETS CARVED WITH DRAGONS, QING DYNASTY 尺寸：L:36cm;W:21cm;H:52cm 此為成對金絲楠木小櫃，上層門板鏤空壽字紋格，下層門板深浮雕雲龍紋。每櫃設雙門，內藏一層隔板及下方兩具小抽屜，背板陰刻乾隆御題詩文並鈐璽印，做工嚴密對稱。楠木色澤金黃瑩潤，紋理細密。成對保存完好，為清代文房陳設雅器。小櫃，又稱架格、炕櫃，明清書齋常用貯物傢俱。上層鏤空壽字格，既可貯物，復通氣防黴；下層浮雕門板，藏抽屜以貯印章、印譜、墨、箋。成對陳設於書案兩側或牀頭，既實用又裝觀。楠木色金黃溫潤，不尚雕琢，正合文人「明式」簡素之趣。 This matched pair of small golden-thread nanmu cabinets features upper doors with openwork longevity-character lattice and lower doors deeply carved with dragon-in-clouds relief. Each cabinet has two doors opening to an interior shelf and two small drawers, the back panel incised with an imperial Qianlong poem and seals. The warm golden wood has a fine silky texture. The pair survives in good condition as elegant Qing scholar's studio furniture. Small cabinets (jia'ge or kang gui) were common Qing scholar's studio storage. Openwork longevity-lattice upper doors let air circulate, while relief-carved lower doors hid drawers for seals, seal albums, ink and letter paper. Displayed in pairs flanking a desk or by a bed, they were both functional and decorative. The warm golden nanmu, sparingly carved, suits the plain elegance of Ming-derived taste.
