CHINESE HARDWOOD FURNITURE
Joinery & Construction
Frame-and-panel construction
More efficient use of materials, and is typical of most panels in Chinese furniture,whether tabletop, door, or cabinet panel.
Recessed-leg construction
The practical and minimalistic 'recessed-leg' form was established by the Song dinasty and continued to be reproduced throughout the Ming and Qing dinasties. This basic construction system was commonly applied to the creation of stools, chairs, tables, and cabinets.
Corner Leg Construction
Can be divided into 'waisted' and 'simianping' styles.
Simianping forms likely developed from early box-style constructions, whose use as tables and platforms are evident in Tang period paintings.
Furniture of 'waisted' style retains architectural characteristics of the classical Greek pedestal, which migrated eastward to Gandhara where, as a dignified support, it became associated with the seat of Buddha.
Bamboo-style construction
'Bamboo-style' furniture employs rounded, bamboo like members that are configured to stimulate the wrap-around and layered construction techniques of furniture made from real bamboo.
