Table Of Four Immortals

As an example of the furniture of the Scholars as it had been fixed throughout the Ming Dynasty, this "Four Immortals" table had an important social role in the life of the Chinese notables. It was, in fact, around her that we met to four to exchange his literary or artistic impressions, ideas, savoring a cup of wine. As such, it had to be elegant and perfect, to leave the workshop of a renowned cabinetmaker whose work would be sure to be recognized. This is the case of the furniture in question, the purity of lines meets the technical sophistication of its assemblies that have not played despite the time. Note that this model, with belt aprons and horizontal tensors to which are added the diagonal tensors from below, is one of the most complex pieces of the time. It is in perfect state of conservation, with a superb mirror patina.
