Exhibition catalogue.; "It gives us great pleasure to present for sale this choice collection of Ming Furniture of fascinating diversity. Some examples are powerful and monumental - the large pair of high continuous yoke-back armchairs (page 20); the large square corner cabinet (page 124) and the long zhuo table (page 130). Some are striking in purity of line, the high waste incense table (page 46) and the pingtouan table (page 40); and exquisite carved works dazzle in the phoenix spandrel table (page 96), the lingzhi motif simianping zitan table (page 58) and the very rare display shelves for usage on a kang. The burl wood doors sloping-stile wood-hinged cabinet (page 54) and the zitan small square corner cabinet (page 114) are the very embodiment of elegance and refinement while perfection of form, design and execution are amply demonstrated by the three apron-spandrel to one leg yitui sanya banzhuo table (page 86), the clothes chests (page 90) and the horseshoe armchair (page 50). Eight-immortals tables (page 76 and decorated square corner cabinets (page 104) in pairs are exceedingly rare, not to mention the superb, encountered but "once in a life time" large pair of high yoke-back armchairs (page 34), which presented an irresistible challenge for the author to acquire for inclusion in this collection even though at the time, this catalogue was already in its final state of of preparation." excerpt from the foreword by Grace Wu.
