From the Collection of Mr R. & Mrs A. Asplund 1905-1999, thence by descent. The image illustrated in the catalogue depicts the display cabinet in their home at Vasastan, Stockholm.
Openwork display cabinets, known as duobaoge or 'curio cabinet of many treasures' developed and reached the height of popularity during the 18th century gracing the Imperial halls. The carefully designed asymmetrical and irregular compartments are characteristic of the duobaoge developed in the early Qing period. Such cabinets would have been used to display precious objects including ceramics, jade carvings, cloisonné enamel and archaic and later bronzes.
