[2024]0076-17世纪（明晚清早）大漆描金靠背椅 Lacquered and gold-painted armchair

This 17th century (late Ming to early Qing) lacquered and gold-painted armchair stands about 1 meter tall, with a round seat approximately 0.5 meters in diameter. The top rail of the chair back features carvings of five bats of varying sizes, lacquered in cinnabar red to symbolize the arrival of the five blessings, also ingeniously providing sturdy support to the rectangular backrest. Both sides of the backrest and the seat are decorated with various birds and flowers in cinnabar and gold, painted in styles ranging from detailed outline to boneless brushwork, each exquisitely and vibrantly executed. Below the seat is a waisted apron, extending down to a skirt board and legs fully adorned with intricate gold-colored twining lotus patterns. The legs taper inward at the midsection and are reinforced with cross braces. The feet of the legs splay outward, creating a robust yet graceful silhouette, a typical style of Ming Dynasty furniture. The proportions are meticulously balanced – any longer or shorter would detract from its perfection. For such an old piece of lacquered wooden furniture, its condition is remarkably well-preserved, with only minor paint flaking and slight discoloration on the seat and backrest, making it an exceptionally rare find.

17世纪（明晚清早）大漆描金靠背椅，高约1米，椅面呈圆形，直径约0.5米。椅背之搭脑，上下牙板，雕成大小蝙蝠五只，朱砂漆成红色，取五福临门之意，并巧妙对长方型靠背构成坚固支撑。椅背正反及椅坐面都以朱砂和金彩绘各式花鸟，画法从双钩到没骨，技法不同，但都无比精美生活。椅面下有束腰，束腰下裙板连四腿都满工金彩缠枝莲纹，四腿中段内收，内收处做十字横撑。腿足外翻，整器造型敦实而又灵秀，典型明代家具风格，比例上增一分则太长，减一分则太短，如此高龄的漆木家具，其状态之完好（个别点脱漆露灰，椅面及椅背磨损稍有脱色），非常难得。
