The name implies a foreign origin for this elegant and functional form, used in Japan since the Nara period (645-794) to store precious objects, but no prototype has survived in China. Although its origin is obscure, the form is well suited to Japanese usage, highly functional for storage in a humid climate and attractive for display in the sparely furnished interiors of traditional architecture. Early extant examples from the twelfth century are black with mother-of-pearl inlay, although a similar undecorated red lacquer chest is recorded to have been made in 1040 for the sacred mirror, one of the three imperial regalia. In its earliest form, the box was square with taller legs; the proportions of this later chest, with shorter and wider legs, give it a more soliTilt-top tea table. Culture: American.

Known through its depiction on Greek vases and fragments of relief-carved marbles, the chair is distinguished by its spare, elegant lines and sweeping, curved rear stiles surmounted by a broad, deeply curved tablet. Reflecting on the perfection of Greek works of art in 1812, the British furniture designer George Smith wrote that every attention was evidently given to produce a flowing and correct outline; and so to arrange the parts in masses, that the whole should appear clear and distinct.. and it is this happy relief, this rejection of little parts, that gives their works so chaste and pleasing an effect.” At their best, nineteenth century American klismos chairs strive for such perfection..
