The Qianlong Emperor appears to be a great admirer of the skill that was required to create sophisticated pieces that were reticulated or richly carved. During the Qianlong period, a great variety of materials were used for decorative pieces such as jade, cloisonne enamels or precious wood.
Hat stands were, therefore, ideal media for craftsmen to display their virtuosity. See a hat stand placed in side the Sanxitang, 'The Studio of the Three Rarities', in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, seen in situ in a photograph illustrated by Hu Chui, The Forbidden City, Collection of Photographs, 1995, p. 57.
Compare to an almost identical celadon and spinach green jade and cloisonne enamel hat stand, in the collection of the Palace Museum of Beijing, under the number Gu00089882 (fig.1.).
See an imperial greenish-white jade reticulated Qianlong hat stands, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 28 May 2021, lot 2722.
