ABOUT ANTIQUE GAMING COUNTERS
Hand-engraved during the middle period of the Ch’ing Dynasty…the last dynasty of Imperial China…the mother-of-pearl counters were made for the East India Trading Company and other European merchants who had settled in China. During this time period, trade routes with China brought back exotic silks, spices, and handmade goods never before seen in Europe. Anything Chinese was all the rage, and amongst the most fashionable items were the beautiful mother-of-pearl gaming counters. Many sets of gaming counters were custom made at the request of British nobility and royalty and would often incorporate monograms or family crests into the designs.
ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
This piece of jewelry was hand-fabricated and hand-engraved by goldsmiths in Florence, Italy. Florentine Engraving is an Old World jewelry making technique and style that has been synonymous with the city of Florence since the 15th Century.
