Chinese Woven Top Summer Daybed, c. 1850

About the Item

With exquisite joinery and balanced proportions, this woven-top summer daybed from Zhejiang province is a fine example of Qing-dynasty furniture. Dated to the mid-19th century, the low-lying daybed is a form of casual seating known as "ta," used throughout the courtyard home as a portable surface for reclining, playing games, and gathering for food and drink. The daybed features a beautiful waisted frame of cypress wood, crafted with smooth contours, a subtle beaded trim and softly rounded edges that flow into round corner legs. Ideal today as a chaise or coffee table, the daybed is finished with a tightly-woven top for added comfort, hand-woven of thin reeds in a basic twill pattern.

China Trade Carved Daybed
Located in Gloucestershire, GB
Fantastic and unusual Chinese trade chaise longue in the Louis XV style, circa 1850. This daybed was likely made in Canton for export to the French market. It combines numerous styles in a very rare manner. The whole is raised on eight cabriole legs, with each knee carved with early 18th Century style arabesques on a punchwork ground. The rest of the frame is also decoratively carved with Chinese-style peonies and trailing vines. This style of low-relief carved decoration owes a lot to early 18th Century Queen Anne type decoration, more usually seen on period English chairs...
