About this item
A striking early 20th century Chinese silver-plated jewellery casket, beautifully embossed with traditional dragon motifs in high relief, showcasing the rich symbolism and decorative artistry associated with Chinese metalwork of the period. Raised on four decorative paw feet, the casket has an elegant profile and impressive decorative presence.
The piece retains its original key and features a fully working lock, adding both functionality and appeal for collectors. Dragons in Chinese culture symbolise strength, power, prosperity, and good fortune, making this a particularly meaningful and attractive decorative object.
Perfect for storing jewellery, trinkets, or treasured keepsakes, it also displays beautifully as a decorative antique piece.
Condition:
Good antique condition overall with age-related wear consistent with use and age. There is some wear to the silver plating, adding to the authentic character and timeworn appearance expected of a piece of this period. Lock in working order and supplied with its original key.
Dimensions:
Length: 17cm
Width: 12cm
Height: 10cm
A charming and collectible example of early Chinese decorative craftsmanship, ideal for collectors of Asian antiques, silver-plated wares, and distinctive jewellery caskets.
