拍品資料及來源

「如此方凳,立體典雅,想或曾啓思扭計骰發明者魯比克。霸王棖、窪面、托泥,盡皆恰到好處。」

此方凳下有托泥,形成一個完整的立方結體,令人聯想起遠古臺座,還未發展至帶腿足坐具的造型。在觀感上,與明代其他杌凳類很不一樣。傳世品中十分罕見。

夏洛特.郝思曼舊藏不少經典明式家具,現多轉入堪薩斯市納爾遜阿特金斯藝術館館藏。郝氏舊藏中有對例,與此非常相似,見於安思遠,《Chinese Furniture: Hardwood Examples of the Ming and Early Ching Dynasties》,紐約,1971年,頁197,圖版107。另見一對立方形但不帶霸王棖之例,載於伍嘉恩,《明式家具經眼錄》,北京,2015年,頁163。
