Chinese Qing Exceptional Quality Silver Box with Chinese Symbols and Dragons
About the Item
An exceptional antique Chinese qing silver box with stylized creatures and Chinese symbols dating from the latter 19th century. The heavily made rectangular shaped box has angled corners with a raised panel to the cover. The cover is decorated in deep relief with two dueling dragons chasing a pearl and surrounded with bats. The scene is set within a formal decorative border. The box has a further panel containing a dragon to the front with Chinese shou (longevity) symbols applied to the corner and end panels. The base is further decorated in relief with similar symbols and bats. The box has a tight-fitting hinged cover revealing a gilded interior. Despite its exceptional quality the box does not appear to be marked, possibly due to the extent of the decoration to the box.
Provenance: From the private oriental collection of an elderly gentleman. Acquired from the UK Art Market
The box is offered in fine original condition with wear associated with age and use.
