The Qianlong Emperor (1711 – 1799) commissioned at least eighteen versions of this lacquer box. He was the sixth Emperor of the Qing dynasty. Like his predecessors, took his cultural role seriously. The Qianlong Emperor was a major patron and important “preserver and restorer” of Confucian culture. He collected ancient bronzes, bronze mirrors, seals, pottery, metal work as well as lacquer work, which flourished during his reign. A substantial part of his collection is in the Percival David Foundation in London.
