This beautiful piece was included in a collection of jade, cloisonné enamels, and carved furniture gathered together in Java some years ago by a well-known collector of Chinese and Oriental curios. Now and then such pieces are to be seen in the shops of West End dealers. But it would be difficult indeed to find one so characteristic of the Chinese carver's art as the one shown.

Here is a side-board, gentlemen, which, if it can be equalled, cannot be excelled no, gentlemen, not if you were to search all the baronial halls, and lordly mansions in this land of mansions, and baronials.
