Chinese And Japanese Works Of Art In The Collection Of Her Majesty The Queen

The Royal Collection includes some of the most historically important examples of eastern arts now in the western world. Distributed among the royal residences in England and Scotland, this collection presents a rich cross-section of the porcelains, jades, lacquer and other works of art produced in China and Japan.
This three-volume book includes these more than 2,000 individual objects and offers historically significant evidence detailing the trade of luxury goods between Europe and the East over the last 300 years. It also publishes for the first time the 18th and 19th century mounts of objects in gilt bronze made by French and British workshops.
