Cloisonné enamel plaques were popular from the second half of the 16th century onwards and became particularly popular during the mid-Qing dynasty, bringing vibrant colors to the imperial palaces’ interiors. These plaques were used on screens, large furniture such as imperial thrones, or as decorative framed hanging panels.
