Bench, 18th century, 14 3/4 x 13 7/16 x 38 3/16 in. (37.47 x 34.13 x 97 cm), Red bean wood, plant fibers, China, 18th century, This elegantly proportioned, well-crafted bench, while small, could still probably accommodate two sitters at the same time. It is fashioned in the standard corner-leg or 'waisted' style with legs terminating in horse hoof feet. The frame is constructed of red bean wood, a rare, extremely dense and heavy material that provides exceptional strength. Stools, like Chinese furniture in general, had their own hierarchy based on height, shape, material, and decoration.
