Chinese Qing Daybed Oxblood red , female opium bed, wood
About the Item
One of a kind Women's opium daybed, China, Qing Dynasty, Jia Qing Period (1796-1820).
Exquisite and unique Chinese opium daybed made of richly carved sandalwood. Only hardwoods, such as sandalwood or rosewood, were used for fine cabinetmaking, and were then lavishly carved with a variety of auspicious motifs.
The color is close to the oxblood red characteristic of the Qing Dynasty.
The backrest, divided into three sections, is highly aesthetically and symbolically charged. Its intricate carvings engage the observer, displaying a large central bat, which, along with four smaller bat figures, transcends us in a luminous and mysterious way, with its rich oriental symbolism of health, natural death, prosperity, long life, and love of virtue.
The headboard tilts in a fascinating way, adding a natural movement to the mysterious and artistic profile of the piece.
The daybed rests on four galve-shaped legs carved with clouds and small bats.
In the context of ancient Chinese civilization, poetry, philosophy, painting, and other artistic expressions are framed within the highest spiritual pursuits.
These types of pieces were part of the furniture of the upper social classes, such as imperial officials or landowners. When they featured auspicious motifs, as in this case, the example of flowers, birds, bats, clouds, etc., they were often used as wedding furnishings.
A museum piece! A unique opportunity!
