Footnotes

十八世紀 灰白玉飾牌三件

The flattened form of the pieces of the present lot indicate that they would once have been inlaid into a wall panel, usually alongside similarly flattened 'precious objects' often in a range of materials such as cloisonné, lacquer and ivory and often with flowering plants whose leaves and petals were elaborately carved from suitably colored hardstones and jade.

Such wall panels provided rich decoration for the halls of a high official or the imperial household, at once displaying wealth and taste as well as an appreciation of the precious objects of the scholar and an understanding of the ancient and noble traditions of Chinese culture.
