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.

Interior in very good condition with minor signs of wear. Very good condition overall.; "We are pleased that Dr. S. Y. Yip had graciously made possible an exhibition of his significant collection of classic Chinese furniture at the Art Gallery on the occasion of the publication of the catalogue of his collection. Consisting of sixty-eight items or eighty pieces, the collection has been assembled with meticulous care and descriminating taste. They belong to the period of Ming-style furniture which has been regarded as the golden age of classic Chinese furniture. In presenting this exhibition, The Art Gallery ventures into a topic of new-found importance. The critical study of Chinese furniture exemplifies the development of modern scholarship in redefining the scope and research methodology of Chinese art beyond the traditional 'high' arts of painting and calligraphy. Archaeological finds, woodblock illustrations, popular literature, and writings on elegant living, together with extant examples of furniture, provide rich resources for research into material culture of the age. Moreover, Chinese furniture, particularly those Ming-style furniture made of hardwood featured in the Dr. S. Y. Yip Collection, has been called the art of the joiners, who with consummate skill could make all kinds of complicated joints which account for the structural strength and perfect form of the pieces. It is also the art of the carvers, who gave elegant shape to the members and embellished them with mouldings and decorative motifs. Most importantly, classic Chinese furniture receives recognition in the modern age because of their aesthetic qualities and sculptural integrity, which speak not only of a bygone golden age, but also provide inspiration to the modern man. " excerpt from the foreword by Mayching Kao, Curator, Art Gallery, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
