A HUANGHUALI THREE-SHELF BOOKCASE, JIAGEMid Qing Dynasty Of rectangular form and standard mitre, mortise and tenon construction, the round slender corner posts framing the softwood top panel and three shelves, one of which surmounts a pair of drawers, and secured around the shelves by a three-sided openwork railingprising of kuilong patterns, the corner posts extending to form the feet, joined by plain apron and spandrels. 188cm (74in) high, 79.5cm (31 1/4in) wide, 41cm (16in) deep. 清中期 黃花梨三層透雕夔龍紋圍子欄杆帶抽屜大架格 The present lot is notable for the added decorative touch of the intricately-reticulated three-sided kuilong galleries, elegant proportions and extravagant use of high-quality huanghuali wood. Open-shelf stands ( jiage ) are one of the four types of cabinets with shelves created by Chinese furniture makers, along with round-corner cabinets yuanjiaogui , cabinets with open shelves lianggegui and square-corner cabinets fangjiaogui . See Wang Shixiang, Connoisseur of Chinese furniture: Ming and Early Qing Dynasties , Hong Kong, 1990, vol.1, pp.82 and 85. Bookcases shuge are open-shelf stands with three-sided railing to hold the books in place and to prevent them from falling, see Zhongguo gudian jiaju shoucang yu jianshang quanshu, vol.1 , Tianjin, 2005, p.179. Bookcases were also a symbol of culture and education as an important feature in any scholar's studio. Open-shelving fulfilled two roles, as it allowed scholars to create elegant displays of scholar's objects and also functioned for storage of albums and books. pare with a huanghuali and wumu four-shelf bookcase in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, illustrated by R.D.Jacobsen and N.Grindley, Classical Chinese Furniture in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis , 1999, pp.142-43, no.49.
