Journal Classical Chinese Furniture Society Spring 1993

Here’s what’s inside...

• Sarah Handler studies the development of one of the earliest chair types in China – the yokeback chair – whose imposing verticality shed an aura of dignity and power on the sitter.
• Curtis Evarts examines a group of nineteen yokeback chairs, whose similar design and construction suggest that they are products of the same workshop.
• Brian Flynn surveys the Chinese hardwood furniture displayed in the newly opened T.T. Tsui Galleries in Chicago.
• Wu Tung, in an essay first published in 1972, traces the evolution of the simple huchuang, which culminated in the elegant horseshoe-back folding armchairs of the Ming dynasty.
• Brian Flynn reviews the furniture displayed in the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition and the 1992 National Gallery exhibition, “Circa 1492: Art in the Age of Exploration.”
• Leslie Mott discusses with photographer James Kline the technical and aesthetic aspects of photographing Chinese furniture.
• Barbara Ramsey presents a listing of exhibitions and symposia, and an extensive bibliography of material relating to classical Chinese furniture.
