FAQs

Chinese export silver encompasses items created by Chinese silversmiths primarily for Western markets, often featuring traditional local iconography combined with European functional forms.

These pieces were typically crafted from high-purity sterling or coin silver, utilizing artisan techniques such as hand-chasing, repousse, engraving, and filigree work.

Authentic pieces usually bear artisan makers marks or pseudo-hallmarks in a character or Latin script format, alongside testing for high silver purity and exhibiting age-appropriate oxidisation and wear.

They make excellent tabletop objects of curiosity, often displayed on a coffee table, desk, or within a cabinet alongside other vintage metallic artifacts.

Preservation involves storing pieces in a low-humidity environment, handling them with clean cloths or gloves to prevent skin oils, and minimising abrasive cleaning to protect the original patina.
