The present lot in its exquisite European subject
decoration bears witness to the East-West cultural
exchange and Qing China’s fascination with Western
exoticism. This fascination with the west (mirrored
in the west by the fashion for Chinoiserie) was most
evident in the architecture of the Xiyang Lou within
the Yuanmingyuan, but also manifested itself in
works of art in various mediums including, porcelain,
painted-enamel, cloisonné-enamel, lacquer wares
and clocks.
