FAQs

Chinese Export Silver refers to items crafted in China by local silversmiths using Western forms combined with traditional Chinese motifs, typically produced for the export market during the Qing dynasty.

These pieces were generally made from high-grade sterling silver, often exceeding standard purity, and utilised meticulous hand-chasing, repousse, and engraving techniques.

Authenticity is usually verified through artisan makers marks or pseudo-hallmarks stamped on the base, combined with characteristic hand-worked texturing and weight.

It can be displayed flat on a surface as a decorative centrepiece or mounted upright on a stand to highlight the detailed metalwork within modern interior schemes.

Maintenance requires gentle dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and occasional cleaning with non-abrasive silver polishes specifically formulated for antiques to preserve the original patina.
