Provincial Chinese Farm Cart Wheel, c. 1850
About the Item
This large 19th-century wooden wheel once bore the weight of an ox-drawn wagon or farm cart. The impressive wheel is richly aged with wabi-sabi texture, burnished smooth from years of use and marked with deep grooves along the wood grain. The circular form is reinforced with an iron trim along the edges and an old iron repair seams a split to the wood. Elevated by a steel display mount, the rustic wheel becomes an abstract sculpture, its striking silhouette reminiscent of an ancient stone bi disc or scholars' rock.

Provincial Chinese Roundback Chair, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
Prior to the 10th century, Chinese society eschewed raised seats in favor of mats. The rising popularity of chairs and other forms of elevated seating led craftsmen to adapt traditional cabinetry and architecture techniques to the human body. In the case of this Yuanyi, or round chair, the flowing crestrail is a direct descendant of the simple armrests that had traditionally supported individuals on mats in their homes. This homage to an ancestral form, combined with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery techniques, created an elegant, functional chair that has endured for centuries and inspired many contemporary furniture designers...
