35 Chinese cinnabar lacquer suite of four chairs and a settee 19th century The four side chairs supported on cabriole legs to front and inwardcurved legs to rear, suspended backrest surmounted by pagodaform top rail and supported by scrolling stiles; settee of similar style with scrolling armrails and a humped backrest; all with wellcarved lotus scroll and figures over a diaper ground; with upholstered seats and backrests. provenance: Private Collection, Brooklyn, New York.

note: The fine lacquer work applied to this suite hearkens back to a style developed in the early years of the Qing dynasty and mastered during the reign of Qianlong. The intricate diaper ground is meticulously crafted with geometric precision while the raised lotus scroll and figures conversely bend and flow in a manner very complimentary to the graceful structure of the seats. The suite’s structural design -particularly the pagoda-like backs and emphasized curvature of the legs and rails- reflects a skillful and conscious melding of traditional design with the whimsical impressions of a growing export market in the 19th century. $20,000-30,000
