Chest. China, Qing Dynasty, 19th centuryCamphor wood.Bronze clasp and side handles.Export sealing wax seal and label remains.Use marks.Measurements: 53 x 87 x 54 cm.Chinese camphor wood boot. The quality of the wood and the beauty of its grain are enhanced by the sober elegance of the design. The bronze front clasp with a lobed tongue and groove on a circular medallion is aesthetically pleasing, not just functional. The flat lid, which is hinged on two simple hinges, is perfectly integrated into the rectangular structure, forming a compact volume but lightened by its slight angularity. Boots ('Yixiang') were an essential means of storage in a culture that folded clothes rather than hung them up. They were common throughout China, as they were used to store everything from clothing to food and documents. To save space they were often placed on top of wardrobes or stacked on top of each other, and were usually placed in a lady's bedroom or reception room. The boots were commonly made of elm and pine. In some areas, notably Beijing and Hebei, it was common to make them from camphor as the scent of its wood acted as a natural repellent against moths and insects.

Perfumer. China, early 20th century.Painted porcelain.With seal on the base.Measurements: 11.3 x 7.5 x 4 cm.Perfume holder with a prismatic tank and cylindrical mouth. Its surface is decorated in the style of the Green Family, a Western term used to designate a style of Chinese polychrome porcelain derived from wucai (literally, 'five colours'). Wucai was created during the Ming dynasty, and has been widely used in China ever since. It is characterised by only some of the motifs being executed in cobalt-blue underglaze, while the rest of the decoration is applied already on the glaze. In addition, black glaze is added for the outlines, in early times covered with a translucent green glaze to fix it. The Green Family style is a type of wucai called yingcai ("solid colours"), which is characterised by the predominance of copper oxide green. The name yingcai refers to the quality of the glazes, which are crystalline because they are mostly applied to the glaze.
