FAQs

Chinese Export Silver refers to silver items produced in China from the late 18th to the mid-20th century, created primarily for export to Western countries. These items combine traditional Chinese decorative motifs, such as dragons, bamboo, and prunus blossoms, with Western form and utility.

Antique silver hand mirrors were constructed by forming detailed silver casings using repousse and chasing techniques. These silver shells were fitted over a weighted inner core or structural framework to support the reflective glass pane and balance the handle.

Authentic Chinese Export Silver often bears hallmark stamps containing artisan marks or Chinese character stamps alongside maker initials. Examining the depth of hand-chased ornamentation and observing natural patination within recessed areas helps confirm age and authenticity.

An antique silver hand mirror can be displayed flat on a bedroom dressing table, set within a mirrored tray, or styled atop stacked coffee table books. Placing it alongside vintage glass perfume bottles creates a curated vanity focus.

Antique silver items should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent build-up. Occasional cleaning with a specialized silver polish removes heavy oxidisation while preserving the dark patina in deep relief details.
