The style of furniture in the Qing Dynasty

Qing style furniture is heavy, with Cantonese style furniture being the most prominent. Regardless of the degree of curvature, the main components of Qing-style furniture are rarely spliced. It is used to make a whole piece of wood. The commonly seen Qing-style furniture, red sandalwood or chicken wings, or rosewood, are all the same wood. Make.


According to historical records, there are many varieties of Qing-style furniture , and many furniture have styles and characteristics not found in previous generations. For example, Li Yu, a writer and opera artist in the Qing Dynasty, advocated setting up drawers in several cases and adding shelves to cabinets, thus opening a precedent for the Qing-style book case and multi-borg. There are also Qing-style palace furniture that is even newer. For example, there are eight-step beds. There are not only hat racks, hangers, bottle holders, lamp stands, etc., but also sputum bucket racks that can be raised and lowered.

1. Extensive selection of materials

Prior to the mid-Qing Dynasty, the selection of materials for palace furniture was most particular. For example, the materials used should be the same color, or red sandalwood or mahogany, all kinds of wood are not mixed with each other, and some furniture is even made of the same wood; when selecting materials, it requires no boils, no scars, no standard skin, uniform color, a little unsatisfactory, just Never give it up, and never do it. In production, in order to ensure the consistent color and texture of the appearance, but also for sturdiness, it is often made of a wood, instead of splicing with small materials. The open-cut flower teeth of many palace red sandalwood furniture are often made with legs, feet and teeth. In this way, the materials used are very large, and a lot of waste.

2. Rich workmanship and rich decoration

Pay attention to decoration, use various metals for decoration, all kinds of jade, agate, green gold, green pine, beeswax, agarwood, ivory and various porcelain, all kinds of feather paintings, embroidery, etc. To achieve a gorgeous, incomparable and ever-changing decorative effect, the designers and producers of Qing-style furniture almost used all the decorative materials available at the time, tried all the decorative techniques that can be used, and showed that the rich and luxurious are Qing-style furniture. The most remarkable feature. Qing-style furniture is also decorated with various dragon patterns. Dragon-shaped patterns have become the supreme symbol of imperial power, and dragons have become the gods and beasts of the heavens. Therefore, throughout the ages, dragon-shaped patterns all mean to exorcise evil, avoid disasters, and pray for blessings. Cultural atmosphere is also reflected in large-scale furniture. For example, the top cabinets, Bogu shelves, and the craftsmen who make Qing-style furniture mostly use various celebrity paintings of the past generations, turquoise, flowers and birds, plum bamboo and chrysanthemum to decorate. It also broadens the expression of furniture art.

3. The fusion of Chinese and Western art styles.

From the handed down Qing-style furniture, people can easily feel the strong atmosphere of foreign culture, especially Western art. The Qing style furniture not only inherited the advantages of the Ming style, but also borrowed boldly from Western civilization. Judging from the existing Qing-style furniture, the use of Western decorative patterns or decorative techniques occupies a considerable proportion.

Only when society is stable can economic prosperity be realized, and economic prosperity can accelerate the development of furniture. In the Qing Dynasty, when the Kang (Xi) Qian (Long) flourishing era, especially during the Qianlong period, the nationwide collection fever rose again. At this time, Duobaoge appeared, it was no longer a cabinet with only one level. We can see the image of Duobaoge from Yongzheng's Twelve Beauties. We speculate that Duobaoge was invented during the Yongzheng years, when the third collection fever reached its peak, which is also a sign of social prosperity.

Duobaoge is specially used to display antiques and is exclusive furniture. Under normal circumstances, multi-Bug is a symmetrical design, there is a space on the left, and there is a same space on the right, which is not a straight edge. This is a feature of Multi-Bug, and Multi-Bug is generally in pairs. Symmetry is the basic principle of Chinese classical furniture.

4. Decline period of furniture

The formation of Qing-style furniture inherited the craft tradition of the past dynasties and developed. The artisans of the Qing Dynasty used various methods, various materials, and tried all kinds of methods to achieve the gorgeous and stable purpose they expected. Therefore, the application of various materials and the combination of various techniques in the decoration techniques of the furniture of the Qing Dynasty constituted its own unique characteristics and style. Together with Ming-style furniture, it represents the splendid and long-lasting artistic and cultural traditions of the Chinese nation with its different eras and different characteristics. It also occupies an important position in the international market. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, due to imperialist aggression and corruption of the ruling class, peasant uprisings took off. Civil wars are frequent. The people are turbulent. The national economy has been greatly damaged. Various traditional cultural arts such as ethnic handicrafts also declined. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Royal Palace also made a batch of furniture, but unfortunately no more skilled craftsmen can be found. Most of the furniture produced during this period was vulgar and bloated. The styling is stiff, and there is no artistry at all, and there is no value for research and reference. They are the result of imperialist aggression. It cannot represent Qing-style furniture, nor can it be compared with Qing-style furniture.

In short, the advent of Qing-style furniture and the formation of its unique style are inseparable from the influence of Qing culture. The Manchu people's inability to give up their own national culture and aesthetic taste, coupled with their longing for advanced national culture and aesthetic taste, made the Manchu consciously and unconsciously reconcile the two to the greatest extent. It is no exaggeration to say that all kinds of handicrafts of the Qing Dynasty are the product of the blending of various cultures, and they are all branded with the blending of various cultures, and Qing-style furniture is no exception. The history of Chinese classical development is the epitome of great national integration. (Editor: Peter)
