Vtg Cinnabar lacquer bead necklace hand-knotted silver Clasp Chinese Shou Export
Vintage Chinese hand-carved cinnabar lacquer Shou longevity beaded necklace. It is hand-knotted with a box clasp marked silver. The necklace measures about 26 long and weighs 72 grams. Each bead measures 11 mm in diameter. The beads have no. Obvious chips, cracks, or other notable damages. The cord is in worn condition and may need to be restrung at some point. I suspect this piece was produced for export sometime in mid-century, perhaps in the 1960s. The clasp is functional. Overall, the necklace is in good vintage condition. Please refer to the photos. I will upload more upon request.
