A GILT-LACQUER ZITAN 'FLORAL' SQUARE BRUSHPOT18th centuryOf square section with cusped corners, the sides decorated with cartouche-form panels depicting flowering chrysanthemum, lotus, plum blossom and peony, each enclosed by a band of stylised scrolls, all raised on four bracket feet, the densely grained wood richly patinated to a deep brown colour.11.5cm (4 1/2in) highProvenance: 十八世紀 紫檀開光花卉圖四方筆筒The current brushpot is notable for the exquisite floral decoration typically found on jade and porcelain vessels and other scholars objects produced by the Imperial workshops.Zitan brushpots of rectangular form are much rarer than the cylindrical brushpots, requiring a greater amount of the expensive resource in their construction. For another 18th century rectangular brushpot , see C.Y. Tsai,Zitan: The Most Noble Hardwood, Taipei, 1996, pp.176-177.筆筒上的開光花卉圖更常見於宮廷御造的玉器、瓷器及文房用具上,以珍貴紫檀為材的四方筆筒頗為少見。參考一十八世紀例,見蔡辰洋編《古典紫檀家具》,臺北,1996年,頁176-177。
