拍品描述

英文品名：A ZITAN CABINET CARVED WITH SCROLLING PEONY, QING DYNASTY 尺寸：L:20cm;W:40cm;H:80cm 此小櫃為紫檀木製，作方角式：上層兩門、下層兩門，門面滿浮雕西番蓮纏枝紋，花葉繁茂，刀法深峻。下設牙板與方直腿。銅活（合頁、面葉、鎖扣）齊全。木色紫黑沉穩，包漿瑩潤。為清代紫檀文房小櫃。西番蓮紋，又稱蕃蓮紋、寶相花紋，源於波斯，經絲綢之路傳入中國，隋唐時與中國卷草紋融合，成為明清傢俱、瓷器、織錦最常見之邊飾。其花形如芍藥，花瓣翻卷，枝葉纏綿，連續不斷，寓意富貴無窮。清代紫檀小櫃多滿雕西番蓮，與明代簡素風格迥異。 This square-cornered zitan cabinet has two upper and two lower doors, all relief-carved with scrolling peony (xifanlian), the leaves and flowers lush and deeply cut. It has a shaped apron and straight square legs, with brass hinges, mounts and lock plate. The wood is dark purple-black with a lustrous patina. It is a Qing zitan studio cabinet. The scrolling peony (xifanlian) or baoxiang flower came from Persia via the Silk Road; from Sui-Tang it merged with Chinese scrolling grass to become the commonest border on Ming-Qing furniture, porcelain and silk. The flower resembles a peony, its petals curling, branches interminable, symbolizing endless wealth. Qing zitan cabinets are often fully carved with this motif, quite unlike the plainness of Ming style.
