The Royal Collection showcases over 2,000 historic eastern art pieces housed in royal residences across England and Scotland, highlighting exquisite Chinese and Japanese porcelains, jades, and lacquerware. This collection reflects centuries of Western fascination with Eastern rarities. Notably, many items were mounted in gilt bronze during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, crafted in prestigious French and British workshops, which are of exceptional quality and historical significance, making their publication a first in this context.
