| The clean, restrained lines of this pair of benches from the early 1800s are typical of Ming styling that remained in favor among some Chinese artisans until late in the Qing Dynasty. Mat seats add interest to the severity of the black finish, which is worn along the edges, giving a nice patina. Proportions and detailing are excellent, including fine beading and shaping around the perimeter and a small, curved design carved on the two outer sides of each foot. It is unusual to find a pair of benches with this age and refinement. The joinery and wood, which is elm, are quite solid and both benches are in excellent condition. Dimensions: height 20" (51 cm), width 41" (104 cm), depth 11" (28 cm). | |||||||||||
