Exhibition Time: October 26 - November 19, 2017
As the earliest auction house in China to hold special sessions on classical furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Guardian Art Center has held several special exhibitions on classical furniture. The forthcoming grand exhibition promises to showcase the extraordinary allure of masterpieces, rarities, and curiosities within Chinese classical furniture. For this exhibition, Guardian Art Center has amassed a collection of well-known pieces nationally, featured in authoritative scholarly works such as “Research on Ming Dynasty Furniture”, “Treasures of Ming Furniture”, and “Selected Masterpieces of Ming Furniture”. Chinese classical furniture, having been dispersed overseas in earlier years, was recognized for its value by many international collectors who regarded these pieces as works of art. This reverence springs from their use of precious materials and meticulous craftsmanship, coupled with their elegant and stately designs. The timelessness of classical furniture masterpieces lies in their well-proportioned designs and exquisite workmanship, allowing them to traverse centuries and blend seamlessly with the most contemporary of aesthetics, remaining eternally stylish both in their lines and forms.
