Recently we've acquired a group of Chinese furniture dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, sourced from the collection of a longtime dealer who maintained a gallery in the Fuller Building 57th Street in New York City. An interesting side note is I used to work in a few art galleries in the Fuller Building back in the late 1990s.
The collection includes elegant Ming-style tables, consoles, cabinets, and scholar's furniture, many retaining their original surfaces and centuries of honest wear. What drew me to these pieces was their remarkable simplicity-clean lines, refined proportions, and craftsmanship that feels surprisingly modern even today.
