Abstract

It was in Tang dynasty that art of furniture making experienced its integration and transition. After the most prosperous period of Tang, magnificent furniture that was completely distinctive from the previous styles was gradually popularized among the aristocrats, and categories of them were further added. The picture Court Musical Gathering which painted in late Tang Dynasty shows furniture of tables and stools of that era elaborately. Instead of presenting in antique styles, they were changed into unprecedented mellow and unique ones with resplendent decorations and bright colors. The texture and material of the furniture, that fully manifests the humanity feature of furniture in court during late Tang, can clearly be seen. And it reveals the free and broad mindsets of Tang people plus the craftsmanship and managerial development of many industries including woodworking, metal manufacturing, etc.
