"The products of China's golden age of cabinetmaking, the Ming and early Qing periods (c.1400-1735), are greatly appreciated for their technical and artistic quality. This quality has made possible their incorporation into the aesthetic of contemporary Western interior design. Despite the manifest quality of classic Chinese furniture, China's voluminous literary record shes little light on the subject, and until now no Chinese monograph has been devoted to it." -front flap.
