    (一對清中期大櫸木藤面方櫈) This is a pair of excellent large size antique Ju wood square stools with "Soft Seat" Rattan Top. These older stools were constructed with an empty frame underneath the seat, woven with palm fiber across in between the wooden frame before a layer of woven rattan was placed above. Thus, it created a "bouncing" effect to the body when sitting on it. The palm fiber is also a very durable material. Most of the chairs with this type of construction are often dated back to mid Qing (18th-early 19th century) or earlier. The rattan and palm fiber on these stools have both been replaced as that is common to the older chairs found. These elegant stools with foot stretchers are constructed with a waist design and with detailed beaded lines. The simple carvings are well executed with a stylized and simplified Ling-Zhi (medicinal mushroom) and Ruyi (to-your-wish) motif with tiny swirls. Older Ju wood pieces are appealing both for its denser wood hardened through time and for their often classical design linked from the golden era of Chinese furniture-making in the 17th century. It is the number one Chinese wood outside of the exotic rosewood and mahogany type of hardwood group with a refine grain. Dimensions for each stool: 17 1/8"x 17 1/8" x 19 1/4" H

    This is a pair of wonderful antique southern Chinese stools made of better and rarer Chinese wood, Ju- Mu and Nan- Mu (Mu means wood), with very rare and refine original old bamboo rattan top intricately woven with delicate patterns. Such fine old rattan weaving on furniture pieces practically did not even exist any more even during the mid 20th century as the old craftsmen for weaving such fine weaving no longer existed then and now. Most of the replacements for the rattan for the old Chinese chairs nowadays are much coarser compared to, with wooden seat frame underneath usually altered. An old furniture piece with such fine and intricate original old bamboo weaving was a pick out of many thousands if one could even be found even way back the early days. This is because rattan breaks easily when used as seating, few old Chinese furniture pieces could retain the original old bamboo woven seat. The old rattan weaving on this pair of stools are much finer than most others. A rattan seat is not only cooling for the hot and humid southern summer weather in china, it is also very comfortable to sit on as a “soft- seat” because of its special seat construction underneath which allows for the “bouncing” from the body. The old bamboo woven seat is visually attractive and adds to the furniture piece a sense of elegance and fineness. The original dark red- brown lacquer of the stools have been stripped to reveal the beautiful grains on the blond wood. Minor losses on the rattan. Dimensions for each stool is:20 1/2"w x 12 1/2"d x 19 1/2"h.
