A Chinese Carved Jade and Gilt Metal Mounted Jewellery Box

1900 - 1920
Sold 6 February 2026 · Robert Belcher Antiques
This “Chinese Carved Jade and Gilt Metal Mounted Jewellery Box” found a buyer.

It was listed by Robert Belcher Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

This very pleasing small early 20th century Chinese jewellery box is ideal for storing small pieces such as rings, etc.

The box is made from panels of pale green jade set into a gilt brass frame with a hinged lid.

The whole metal frame is hand engraved with a scrolling leaf and flower design, including the raised and shaped feet, which support and elevate this delightful piece.

The top panel is most impressive with its carved and pierced decoration which is also of a foliate design with exotic flowers and leaves.

The top panel is lined underneath with a thin glass panel to seal the pierced decoration, keeping the inner contents clean from the dust.

The box is in excellent original condition with some slight wear to the gilding in keeping with its age.

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Jade has been carved in China for millennia, traditionally symbolising purity, status, and virtue. Boxes mounted in gilt metal often emerged during the late Qing dynasty and the Republic period, frequently destined for export or elite domestic use.

These items typically feature panels of natural nephrite or jadeite stone, held together by a structural framework of cast or stamped brass, bronze, or gilt metal mounts.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the mineral structure of the jade, the weight and patination of the metal mounts, and the precision of the hand-carved motifs on the stone panels.

This piece functions effectively as a decorative accent on a dressing table, side table, or mantelpiece, adding texture and a subtle touch of colour to an interior.

Jade and gilt metal should be cleaned gently using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, moisture, and abrasive materials to protect the delicate surface patination.
