Royal Treasures, a book of photos and descriptions of more than 200 invaluable antiques, has been published by China's Commercial Press.

The antiques are part of the collection of the Imperial Palace, or Forbidden City, Museum in Beijing. Some have been shown to the public for the first time.

The Imperial Palace Museum and the Commercial Press have been compiling the book since 1995.

The Commercial Press plans to publish 60 volumes dedicated to such things as calligraphy, painting and ancient clothing. (Photo Source: dagongpao.com)
