A Chinese huanghuali stool, chang fangdeng
Ming dynasty, 17th century
The mat seat set inside a frame of standard mitre, mortise and tenon construction above plain aprons and spandrels raised on round legs joined with pair of stretchers at the short side and single stretchers at the long side, 48cm high x 50cm wide x 38cm wide.
Provenance: The Adler Family Collection.
Solomon Adler was born in Leeds, England, into a Jewish family originally from Belarus. He studied economics at Oxford and University College London before moving to the U.S. in 1935 for research. In 1936 Adler joined the U.S. Treasury’s Division of Monetary Research and Statistics, working closely with Harry Dexter White. In 1940 he became a U.S. citizen and in the following year was assigned to China as Treasury representative, serving there until 1948. It is during this period that he assembled his collection of Chinese furniture. In 1950 he resigned and returned to the U.K., teaching at Cambridge University. In the early 1960s Adler moved back to China where he lived until his death in Beijing in 1994. Before leaving the U.K. he passed his possessions to his brother, the father of the present owner.

Solomon Adler出生於英格蘭里茲的一個猶太家庭，家族原籍白俄羅斯。他曾就讀於Oxford和University College London主修經濟學，後於1935年前往美國從事研究工作。1936年，Adler加入了美國財政部的Division of Monetary Research and Statistics，並與Harry Dexter White密切合作。1940年，他成為美國公民，翌年被派往中國擔任財政部代表，任職至1948年。在此期間，他收集了中國家具，形成了其收藏。1950年，Adler辭職並返回英國，在Cambridge University任教。1960年代初期，Adler再次移居中國，並一直居住至1994年於北京逝世。離開英國前，他將自己的財產轉交給弟弟，即現藏家之父。Solomon Adler的弟弟於1965年首次訪問中國，並在1977年「四人幫」倒台後又多次再度訪華。
It is likely the stool has been assembled probably in the early 20th century from pieces of Ming dynasty timber. Please see photos for additional information, which show old filled joints in the legs.
