Vintage Chinese Export Silver Repousse Pill Jewelry Box
On offer is this lovely Vintage Chinese Export Silver Repousse Pill or Jewelry Box featuring high relief repousse work in the shape of a leaf with a raised stalk on the domed lid with scrolls on the edge of the lid and beautiful repousse flowers entwined around the body of this box. The workmanship in this box is extraordinary and is a fine example of the wonderful silver pieces that were exported from China. Many wealthy people had items like this made for them which often took weeks or months to finish and not many of these silver pieces have survived, hence, vintage and antique Chinese export silver is now highly sought after by collectors. In very good condition for it’s great age with no damage but there are age related scratches to the base of the box as shown in the photo. Hallmarked silver with another hallmark that is worn down so I cannot read it. Made of Chinese 800 Silver. Measures 1.75 inches in diameter x 1.5 inches high. A fabulous addition to your collection.
