The furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties preserved in the Palace Museum are of best quality and have a great variety. They are second to none in China. The large pieces of lacquer furniture can be found nowhere else in China. The lacquer furniture and the hard wood furniture will be included in two books. Book I includes the furniture of the former half of the Ming and Qing dynasties; Book II included the furniture of the latter half of the Qing dynasty.
