The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Chinese export silver refers to silver items produced in China from the late eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth century specifically for export to Western markets, often featuring traditional Chinese iconography applied to Western functional forms.

These boxes were primarily crafted using repousse and chasing techniques, where metal is hammered from the reverse and detailed from the front to create three-dimensional motifs against stippled or textured grounds.

Authentic pieces typically bear maker marks, artisan marks in Chinese characters, or silver purity stamps alongside hand-hammered decorative work such as dragons, bamboo, or narrative scenes.

Small silver vessels work well placed on coffee tables, sideboards, or bedside tables, providing tactile interest and functional storage for small items within contemporary settings.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and polish sparingly with specialised silver polish to preserve the contrast within carved recessed areas and avoid excessive wear.
