Chinese furniture design had been improved through the centuries,
maturing during the 14th century. The Qing furniture developed from
Ming style furniture; it was attractive with ornate novel
decorative elements. In the olden days of China, those who had
resources could afford to live in a gracious residence such as the
four-closed courtyard house (siheyuan). The four-closed courtyard
house is the Chinese art of enclosing space to create an ideal
environment for habitation. The multifunctional Chinese classical
furniture facilitates the indoor and outdoor activities of its
inhabitants. Siheyuan is divided into chambers such as the Hall,
female chamber etc. This book provides details on which pieces of
furniture should be displayed in each chamber, as well as
full-colour illustrations and diagrams of how each piece was made
and assembled. This includes three-dimensional drawings by Philip
Mak and perspective views of the interior of various rooms. The
author guides the readers through them, narrating the placement of
furniture with inherent social implications. For easy reference,
each piece is numbered and a more detailed description available in
the catalogue section of this book. Text in English and Chinese.
