I have two 19th century Chinese Paktomg boxes with silver mounts fixed to top of lids that I will be listing separately. Absolutely stunning detail with silver mounts on the lids that I assume were likely from even earlier pieces and repurposed for these boxes. The silver work is particularly well done and the hand engraving charming.
