Daybeds

Open-frame daybeds were popularized during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), and their use gradually eclipsed the old, box-style platform.



A miniature wooden daybed found in the tomb of Pan Yunzheng (d. 1589) near Shanghai reflects a classical 'waisted corner-leg' -style typical of the late Ming period.




Daybeds of 'recessed-leg' style were also typical of the late Ming period, including both those of round-leg style as well as those with mitered bridle joints and legs shaped with flanges.




Being relatively lightweight, the daybed was well-suited for impromptu gatherings, and was often arranged with other furnishings on a terrace or in the garden where fresh air and natural impressions could be enjoyed.



In a makeshift study arranged on a garden terrace, the daybed served as a place for quiet relaxation and contemplative meditation or as a platform from which to engage in lofty conversation. Such tented arrangements also provided a comfortable place to sleep during the hot summer nights.



The refined gentleman also found idle pleasure playing the ‘gu zheng’ while seated upon a daybed arranged in a garden pavilion.
