Clothes Rack, 17th century, 71 1/2 x 65 x 17 3/4 in. (181.61 x 165.1 x 45.09 cm), Huanghuali hardwood, China, 17th century, The traditional Chinese house had no closets, but the Chinese clothes rack served as a temporary closet, allowing several layers of clothing to be shed or put back on with convenience. It also functioned as a way of displaying fashionable pieces of clothing. While a clothes rack was a common piece of furniture in the sleeping quarters of both men and women, only a few hardwood examples have survived. In spite of several old repairs, this stand has retained its extremely simple design. The top rail is decorated at each end with the ling-chih fungus of immortality and the central panel is comprised of the so-called 'cracked ice pattern.'.
