Item Details
Description
Chinese, ca. 1720-1730. Four very attractive Hungmu side chairs. Purchased from the renowned dealer and connoisseur of Chinese furniture, Robert Hatfield Ellsworth (see photocopy of original receipt dated January 10, 1972). Mr. Ellsworth was the foremost authority on Chinese furniture and wrote several books on the subject which are now essential references.

Ex: Estate of Diran Dohanian, distinguished art historian and Asian art specialist. Most of Professor Dohanian's collection was formed in the 1960s-70s, beginning when he was residing in India conducting research for his book, "The Mahayana Buddhist Sculpture Of Ceylon." He later developed a keen interest in Japanese and Chinese scroll paintings, a number of which are included here.
