The piece featured is a stunning example of Ming-style artistry, showcasing a pierced dragon design carved into a natural jade plaque. The intricate craftsmanship is complemented by the sleek silver detailing, creating a sophisticated and timeless look. This exquisite trinket box is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of Chinese artisans from the early 20th century, making it a valuable addition to any collection of antique jewelry or decorative items. I believe the jade was carved in China during the late 19th Century to early 1900s. The jade possibly was later repurposed as the finial for the trinket box in London. The bottom drawer is missing the wood, the silver has developed an antique tarnished finish.
