Red Sandalwood round-backed Armchairs Three-Piece,with Coiled-leaf pattern Waist-Cinched Design and Base Frame
Furniture Form: round-backed Armchair
author: Dayatang
Material 1:
Red Sandalwood（common name）
Pterocarpus santalinus（Latin name）
Material 2:
African Blackwood（common name）
Dalbergia melanoxylon（Latin name）
Specification:
Chair: Length: 63cm, Width: 50cm, Height: 101cm
side table: Length: 40cm; Width: 50cm; Height: 69cm
This imperial palace chair is a round-backed chair with a waisted waist, a base, and highly ornate carvings. The prototype is housed in the Palace Museum Furniture Gallery in Beijing. The backrest is a three-section frame; the upper section is carved with openwork floral patterns, a variation of the scrollwork design; the middle section is inlaid with a single burl wood panel from Burmese rosewood; and the lower section features exposed legs with an outline resembling an inverted bat. Four large, openwork corner braces are used where the backrest, armrest, and seat meet, enhancing the decorative effect when viewed from the front. The armrests and the area above the hoof-shaped feet are also decorated with openwork scrollwork patterns, a rather unique technique. The seat, made from a single, split plank of wood, is even more valuable. This imperial palace chair departs from the simple and elegant style of the plain round-backed chairs of the Ming dynasty, yet retains the core principle of comfort, exuding an air of elegance and leisure.

小叶紫檀/赞比亚小叶紫檀卷草纹束腰带托泥圈椅
此椅与收录在《明式家具珍赏》、《明清家具》上册中的紫檀卷草纹圈椅，形制、做工、风格皆相同。

王世襄《明式家具珍赏》封面即是一件相同形制的清紫檀有束腰带托泥圈椅，为故宫博物院旧藏，王老判断其“四件一堂”，“应当是十八世纪初期为宫廷特制的家具”、“是工料绝精而且有代表性的重要家具”。
首先，本件圈椅的形式，与故宫博物院所藏圈椅相同: 靠背板用攒框做成，上截雕开光镂空花纹，是卷草纹的变体；中截任其光素；下截锼云纹亮脚。靠背板和椅圈及座面相交处，使用四大块镂空角牙，加强了从正面观看的装饰效果。扶手出头和四足马蹄之上一段镂雕卷草纹，精美绝伦。
