The Dr. S. Y. Yip Collection of Classic Chinese Furniture III


11 November 2007 - 30 January 2008
Gallery I

Classic Chinese furniture, of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing dynasty (1644-1911), has long been revered for its simplicity and elegance, its upright and dignified joint design, and its well-grained hardwood. This is a sequel of a highly successful exhibition held at the Art Museum more than ten years ago. The exhibits for the present one are selected from the recent acquisitions by Dr S Y Yip, the foremost collector of Chinese furniture in Hong Kong.
