Lot details

China. Superbly carved with the top panel set within a rectangular frame with a beaded 'ice-plate' (bingpanyan) edge above a shaped, beaded, and cusped apron, all raised on elegant cabriole legs carved with lion masks at the corners and terminating in claw feet, the wood of an attractive grain and color.

Provenance: From the private collection of Jean-Pierre Rousset, acquired in the 1980s, and housed in his famous Parisian home ever since (see in-situ photograph). Jean-Pierre Rousset (1936-2021) was a French art dealer and the nephew of Robert Rousset (1901-1982), one of the most prominent pioneers of the Chinese art market in Paris. With no children of his own, Robert took his nephew Jean-Pierre under his wing and began grooming him to eventually take over the gallery. He loved to wander with Jean-Pierre through the gallery's exhibitions and storerooms, telling stories about each piece while cultivating his protégé’s eye. Jean-Pierre was also sent by his uncle to train with the great expert in Asian art and Robert’s close friend, Michel Beurdeley, whose numerous publications are still commonly referenced today. When Robert passed away, his private collection was divided between Jean-Pierre and his sister, Anne-Marie, whose part was sold with great success after her death in 2019.
Condition:
Good condition with some wear and traces of use, expected minor age cracks, some with associated old fills, small chips, light scratches, the joints possibly reinforced.

Dimensions: Size 96.5 x 59 x 29.5 cm

Expert’s note: Kang tables were typically used on top of a platform, kang, or a couch-bed or daybed. For a discussion on kang tables, see S. Handler, Austere Luminosity of Chinese Classical Furniture, Berkeley, 2001, pp. 169-171. See Wang Shixiang, Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture: Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, vol. I, Hong Kong, 1990, pp. 48-52, for a discussion of different forms of kang tables.
