It provided space for the storage and display of expensive silver flatware, porcelain, and glassware used during the course of a meal. This massive and resplendent example with an accompanying knife box is a tour de force of early-nineteenth-century cabinetmaking.

(227.97 x 233.05 x 170.18 cm), Huanghuali hardwood, China, 17th century, The canopy bed was one of the most important pieces of furniture in a Chinese household. It was generally ornamented with symbols associated with a long and happy marriage. Here, the railings are decorated with heart-shaped ruyi (the mythical wish-fulfilling symbol) set against a pattern of the Buddhist swastika signifying 'ten thousand,' which granted the owner the fulfillment of ten thousand wishes. Curtains were hung inside the canopy which, when closed, created a private room within a room. With curtains drawn back, canopied beds were used as formal couches from which the woman of the house held audience and conducted business. With the addition of low tables, canopy beds could be used for playing board games, informal dining, or drinking tea with guests.Anonymous, low wardrobe (main title).

(80.01 x 217.81 x 118.11 cm), Huang-hua-li hardwood, China, 16th-17th century, The low-back couch-bed (chuang) with solid rails is among the simplest and most harmonious forms of Ming furniture. Evolved from ancient box-style platforms, it had developed, by the Ming dynasty, into the sophisticated corner-leg frame with the type of side railings seen here. Often used as the centerpiece in formal seating arrangements within a reception hall, the chuang was extremely versatile and could even be found in the scholar's studio and the women's quarters. Used for sitting, reclining, and sleeping, a low table could be placed on the platform to allow for eating and drinking, writing, or playing board games. Sleek and powerful, this beautifully proportioned couch avoids decoration, relying instead on its boldly outcurved legs, concave waist, and strong graining for its visual effect. It employs massive construction with powerful inward turning legsPierre Dupré.

(188.8 x 109.2 x 62.4 cm), Huanghuali hardwood, China, 17th century, There are very few Ming-style cabinets made specifically for the storage and display of art. This classic pair features decorative inner frames and railings surrounding the open shelves. Precious huanghuali hardwood has been used throughout, including the backs, shelves, tops, and bottoms of these luxurious storage units. Cabinets of this type have a high, open shelf on which to display antiques or decorative objects. There is a cupboard below with shelves and drawers for the storage of precious items not currently on display. In China, art displays are not permanent but are changed often, according to the season or special event. In order to emphasize the objects, the carving on the cabinet is concentrated around the display shelf, helping to focus attention on the treasured display item. The protective railings, or galleries, are exquisitely caUpright Piano 1831 Loud & Brothers American This large upright piano takes the form of a secretary desk and has a case of carved rosewood with gild decoration. Its fabric panel (a modern replacement) covers the piano action. In the nineteenth century, pianos such as this were aspiration objects for middle-class American families. The piano industry became a leading industry in the United States, led by companies such as Loud & Brothers in Philadelphia, Chickering in Boston, and Steinway in New York City. These large firms imported raw materials such as ivory, ebony, and rosewood to produce their finely crafted instruments and then exported their pianos around the globe. Technical description:The keyboard compass is 73 keys (FF-f4) with ivory naturals and ebony accidentals. Two brass pivoting candleholders flank the keyboard.
