The use of vareigated marble and other colored stones in conjunction with huanghuali furniture was prevalent throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties, as the color of the stone often complimented the rich color and grain of the wood. For a discussion of marble and other stones used in Ming and early Qing furniture, see Wang Shixiang, Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture: Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, vol. I, Hong Kong, 1990, pp. 153-4. Refer, also, to C. Evarts, 'Ornamental Stone Panels and Chinese Furniture,' Journal of the Classical Chinese Furniture Society, Spring 1994, pp. 4-26.
