Abstract
Interior decorations were architectural components used to divide indoor
space. As the palaces of the Qing court went through constant renovation,
these components were replaced, refurbished, or moved. By examining
archival documents together with extant architectural examples, this
essay shows how the Qing court reused, sold, and recycled raw materials
from old components of interior decoration in order to reduce cost.
