About
Antique 19th century rare Chinese Export solid silver hand mirror, of round form, very large size and heavy gauge, the handle formed as entwined dragon biting into the mirror, the double sided mirror surrounded by an outstanding openwork frame, cast, pierced and engraved with bamboo leaves. The reverse silver plaque engraved with birds perching on bamboo.
Hallmarked with Chinese character marks, 90 silver (900+ standard), Mark "WH" for Wang Hing, Considered as one of the greatest and finest Chinese Export retailer, Wang Hing started trading in Canton soon after 1842 when, with the end of the First Opium War and the treaty of Nanking, China opened its ports to foreign merchants and Hong Kong became a British colony.
Wang Hing was the trading name chosen by the Lo family who established the business and passed it down for generations until 1941. Although we don’t have any information about the founder of the company, we know that the Lo family was a wealthy merchant family living in one of the richest and buzzing areas of Canton, the district of Xiguan.
