317萬美元售出。黃花梨榻的又一經典案例。(2026.09.20更新)


此一系列精選十件黃花梨家具中,本榻巧妙凝聚中國傳統榫卯工藝之卓越智慧與樸質簡練之設計美感,尤爲出衆。工匠巧妙運用構件比例與暗榫結構,使榻之四腿與榻面邊抹毋須依賴一棖一牙,卻仍能保持結構穩固,從而營造渾然天成之建築美感。觀者遂可聚焦於此榻之均衡外觀與典雅氣韻:四腿側脚收分恰到好處,内翻馬蹄足光挺有力,兩端翹頭輕盈雅致。整體風格雋永典雅,充分體現明式家具寧古無時,含蓄内斂的美學精神。


翹頭多見諸桌案,然於榻類臥具則殊為罕見,目前所知存世及著錄例為黃花梨製者尤屬鳳毛麟角。一件極為珍罕之黃花梨榻,高束腰,帶翹頭,外翻馬蹄足,收錄於伍嘉恩著《木趣居—家具中的嘉具》,香港,2017年,頁366至369。另可比較一例黃花梨三彎腿榻,2022年11月30日於香港佳士得《卓木沁香:曾氏收藏中國古典家具》專場拍賣,拍品2807號。

In these ten pieces of huanghuali, this daybed deftly combines the brilliant technical genius of Chinese joinery with a sleek design. Through the careful engineering of these simple members and unseen joints, the carpenter is able to avoid using stretchers, braces and/or spandrels to buttress and support the legs and frame and creates a seamless, architectural design. Focus is instead on the balanced form, the nuanced tapering of the legs terminating in gently upturned feet or the delicate everted ends. The overall effect is timeless and defines the restrained yet sophisticated aesthetic of Ming furniture.


Often seen on tables, such as trestle-leg or corner-leg tables, everted ends rarely appear on daybeds, and with very few extant or published examples in huanghuali. A very rare huanghuali daybed with tall waist, outward-turned feet, and everted ends is illustrated in G. Wu, The Best of the Best: The MQJ Collection of Ming Furniture, Hong Kong, 2017, pp. 366-369. A flush-corner waistless huanghuali daybed without everted ends was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 30 November 2022, lot 2807.
