Title
A name given to the resource
Dorian Gray's Library (Grosvenor Apartment, London)
Subject
The topic of the resource
This is where I will include information and an assortment of things found in Dorian's library. The space aligns with the aesthete affinity for oriental objects-- this collection contains a bit of Japanese and Chinese artifacts, along with some southern European pieces. This was also the original hiding place for Dorian's portrait.

Title
A name given to the resource
Chinese box
Description
An account of the resource
This box is hidden inside the triangular compartment of the Florentine cabinet. It is intensely detailed, black in color with "gold-dust lacquer, elaborately wrought, the sides patterned with curved waves, and the silken cords hung with round crystals and tasseled in plaited metal threads" (Wilde 174-75). Though the item is small, its beauty in detail and effects on Dorian mark its importance in the text. It contains a "green paste waxy in lustre" with a smell that is "curiously heavy and persistent" (Wilde 175), heavily implying that the box is used to keep Dorian's opium or hashish. This connection between the box and China furthers the Orientalist decor in Dorian's library.
----
The Qing dynasty box in the image is, admittedly, not the same color scheme as the box in Wilde's text. However, its elaborate carvings seem to represent a similar pattern to Dorian's box, and its description as a late 18th-early 19th century treasure box could align with Dorian's box (Box with Landscape Scenes). The box's lacquer is carved with details like bats and the Buddhist "Eight Treasures," meant to represent success and longevity (Box with Landscape Scenes). Dorian's box seems to represent moral decline and addiction in the novel.

Title
A name given to the resource
Florentine Table
Description
An account of the resource
Described simply as "little" and near to Dorian's bedside in the text (Wilde 121). The yellow book gifted to Dorian by Lord Henry is placed upon it in Chapter 10.

The image depicts a rather intricate table made in England in 1862, designed by J. Randell and manufactured by S. Birley. It is marble inlaid with other stones, done in the Florentine "pietra dura" style. The piece was completed for the "International Exhibition of 1862" in London, making its age a suitable comparison to Dorian's table in the novel (Table|Randell, J.).
