canopy bed or on the side wall of a brick couch and could be used
to store scrolls, books or any other small items.

A similar shelf such as our current lot is illustrated in the famous
paintings of Twelve Beauties at Leisure painted for Prince Yinzhen,
the Future Yongzheng Emperor, dating to the late Kangxi period
(between 1709-1723), which depicts an elegantly dressed lady 149
looking at a bronze mirror seated below a comparable scroll
hanging shelf.
