FAQs

Silver and enamel should be kept away from direct sunlight and moisture. Cleaning should be done gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes that can damage the delicate enamel work.

These small decorative objects work well displayed on bookshelf shelves, mantelpieces, or as part of a curated tablescape, adding metallic texture and historical interest.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit traditional hand-carved or soldered construction techniques, appropriate metal oxidisation, and artisan maker marks or character stamps consistent with the period.

While common cages were made from gourd, bamboo, or wood, elite examples were crafted from precious metals such as silver, often decorated with cloisonne or champleve enamel.

Cricket keeping has a long tradition in China, dating back over a thousand years to the Tang Dynasty, where these insects were kept for their singing rather than fighting.
