Carpenters from this era were artisans. They elevated furniture from the functional to the realm of the philosophical. By artfully aligning wood grain patterns, experimenting with spatial dimensions, and innovating new forms of joinery, simple tables and chairs came to represent something higher—the harmony and union of man and nature.Lavishly illustrated with over 300 color photographs, historical prints and detailed drawings, this book presents an overview of: Carving Styles Wood Types Regional Variations Class Distinctions Restoration Techniques And much more! With its detailed historical overview and regional coverage, this book highlights the great diversity of antique Chinese furniture and serves as an indispensable guide to collectors, new and old.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 279mmItem Length: 216mmAuthor: Karen MazurkewichContributor: A.
