Lot Essay

Crafted from huanghuali with an exceptionally attractive grain, this chest stands out as a particularly desirable example of its type. Its slightly slender proportions further enhance its sense of elegance and refinement.
Compare two related huanghuali chests, dated to the 18th century, in the Liang Yi Collection, illustrated by C. Evarts in Liang Yi Collection: Small Objects, Hong Kong, 2007, pp. 104–105, nos. 55–56. See also a comparable huanghuali seal chest, dated to the 17th/18th century, sold at Christie's New York, 24–25 March 2011, lot 1377.
