A number of gilt-bronze and cloisonné enamel lanterns remain in situ in the Palace Museum, Beijing, although none of this unusual form appear to be published. The present lot can best be compared to a pair of models of nine-tiered pagodas from the Palace Museum, Beijing, included in the Paris exhibition at the Musée du Petit Palais, La Cité Interdite: vie Publique et Privée des empereus de chine 1644-1911, 1996-1997, figs. 61 and 62, and most probably were manufactured in the same workshop.
