— HISTORICAL NOTE —
This antique sideboard was built during the reign of the famous Regent Empress Cixi. This great historical figure generated great admiration by the world leaders of the time for his great political force and has been exposed to a more than doubtful bad publicity in his country of origin. Among other reasons, for the different treaties that were signed under his regency that led to the decline of the Qing dynasty.
