Lot Details
relief embossed and engraved chrysanthemum decoration. Finely worked, gilt interiors. 1022gms. Note: The name Wang Hing is synonymous with quality and design. Established in Canton in 1854, by the wealthy Lo merchant family. The establishment of the Treaty of Nanking helped fuel the market for China’s export trade. From there export silver changed from European designs to feature traditional Chinese motifs, patterns and symbols. This would prove to be popular with Western retailers and consumers, as orientalism became the new fashion.
