85.仙游古典家具制作技艺的历史渊源及制作工艺特点是什么?


答:仙游古典工艺家具制作俗称“仙作”,是指以福建仙游为中心地区所制作的家具。该制作工艺源于北宋,兴盛于明清。宋代时,因皇室喜爱,上下争效。明代中期,“仙作”家具空前大发展,大小手工作坊如雨后春笋,明式“仙作”不仅继承中原和江浙的家具风格,还有新的发展,设计更为合理。清代,“仙作”家具在造型艺术、用料、装饰及色彩方面形成与广东、苏州和北京迥异的风格。清代“仙作”家具承袭明式家具精致古朴的造型特点,实用性大为增强,整体面貌转向世俗化,审美风格则追求工艺精巧、淡雅美观的艺术特点,吉祥图案十分流行。

“仙作”家具制作工艺流程大致包括五方面:木料干燥、取势定图、雕镂刻画、细部打磨、光面与上料。从器形结构上看,“仙作”家具讲究美观及实用性,全部采用榫卯结构,牢固且省料,看不出接合的缝隙。从使用木料上看,“仙作”家具的材质以黄花梨、紫檀、酸枝木为主,还有鸡翅木、铁力木等。从材料运用和技法上看,大略可分为阴刻、浅浮雕、深浮雕、透雕、圆体雕五大类。

截至目前,仙游古典家具制作技艺的国家级传承人有:黄福华。
