A huanghuali Kang table, kangzhuo, 17th-18th century | 十七至十八世紀 黃花梨炕桌

The Reverend Richard Fabian Collection.

Sotheby's New York, 15th March 2016, lot 6.

Christie's Hong Kong, 29th November 2022, lot 3028.

The absence of carved decoration on the present table ensures focus on the clean curvilinear outline and on the attractive figuring of the grain, particularly on the single panel top. A closely related table from the collection of the Honolulu Academy of Arts is illustrated in Robert H. Ellsworth, Chinese Hardwood Furniture in Hawaiian Collections, Hawaii, 1982, pl. 3. Another similar example but with beaded edge, attributed to the late 16th, early 17th century is illustrated in Grace Wu Bruce, Living with Ming - The Lu Ming Shi Collection, Hong Kong, 2000, pl. 41.
