The use of top vertical cabinets in Ming and Qing dynasty furniture

The top vertical cabinet, to put it simply, is high below for quilts and clothes, and then put it on after folding, no need to hang it.

Top mullions. A top cabinet is a two-door cabinet stacked on top of a two-door cabinet. There is a sub-mouth between the top cabinet and the bottom cabinet, so it is called the top vertical cabinet.

Most of the top vertical cabinets are furnished in pairs, so they are also called "four-piece cabinets", which are the more common forms of furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The hall can be furnished side by side, or it can be displayed opposite each other. This kind of cabinet is large and small, and can be placed according to the size of the temple.

In order to avoid the gap between the two cabinets, this kind of cabinet is made of square materials, and the top and bottom are square and straight, and there are no side feet and points. The four cabinets of the Ming Dynasty are mostly rosewood, and most of them are plain and undecorated, and the carving and inlay account for a minority. The four-piece cabinets of the Qing Dynasty are mostly made of rosewood, and they are ornately decorated, and most of them are embossed or inlaid with various allegorical ornaments on the cabinet doors.

Most of them are decorative, and they don't put the wardrobe for clothes in the hall.

It is to put a box on the top of a vertical cabinet, so it is also called a top cabinet. This is called a rounded corner cabinet, which was more popular in the Ming Dynasty. It is usually used to put clothes, but now it can be folded to put clothes or quilts.

Most of them are decorative, and they don't put the wardrobe for clothes in the hall.

Some of the quilts are also loaded with clothes, so they don't need to be hung, and they are put on after folding.

The top is an antique, and the bottom is a quilt (give me points.)
