England 1929 Art Deco Chinoiserie Desk Lighter In Sterling Silver Jade And Lapis

About the Item

Art deco box desk lighter made in England. A beautiful table-desk lighter, created in London England back in the 1929. This sculptural piece has been crafted during the high art deco period and was build up with a mix of styles, such the Chinoiserie and the Egyptian revival. Carefully made with motifs of these cultures in solid .925/.999 sterling silver with thin incised engraved figures of mythological dragons. It is fitted with a round lid of three barrels hinge and a push thumb to lift. Mounted on top with an stepped obelisk carved from natural Afghani vivid blue lapis lazuli. It is framed in the middle, with a genuine antique cylinder seal of natural white jade from the Chinese Qing Dynasty (1604-1911). The jade (23 x 30 x 30 mm) is a great piece of art, carved in the 19th century and depicts mountains, trees and the figure of a mythological dragon in the clouds. Although this piece is not signed by the silversmith artist nor is it stamped by the maker, the manufacturing quality is exceptional. We are sure that the two carved pieces are from the Qing imperial period and most likely brought from China around the 1900s as a memento from the old dynasty.
