An extraordinary pair of Qing dynasty lacquer cabinets-on-stands from the collection of the Prince de Ligne.
Of black lacquer with polychrome decoration. Each cabinet with paired bi-fold doors, the exterior brightly painted with figures and reserves, the doors enclosing a four-paneled folding screen, one decorated with a continuous erotic scene of couples engaged in acts of passion within a garden, the other screen decorated with figures in a garden, each cabinet with a fitted interior and resting on a stand with pierced trellis-pattern apron and with each leg terminating in a ball-and-claw foot.
The present lacquer cabinets, raised on their original stands, are externally decorated with unusually bold figures in a landscape, and open to reveal further imagery with painted figures incorporated into an architectural balconied interior.
Qianlong Period. Circa 1765.
