A remarkable find! This extraordinary antique Chinese export bracelet was designed for the Western market between the 1930s and 1950s, during the height of Orientalist exports. It is an exceptional collector's item due to its level of detail, rarity, and perfect condition.
Crafted from delicate silver filigree, it features a symmetrical, open floral design with five floral panels carved from a bluish-turquoise material, likely turquoise paste, which was widely used at the time. These carefully framed carvings evoke traditional motifs and lend the piece an exotic and powerful presence.
The silver has developed an elegant patina over time, accentuating its authentic character. The clasp bears the "SILVER" hallmark, characteristic of sterling silver export pieces from that era. Its paneled construction provides great flexibility and a comfortable fit on the wrist, and the snap closure ensures a secure fit without compromising its aesthetic appeal.
This type of jewelry, which combines refined craftsmanship with a mystical and decorative air, was coveted both as a luxury accessory and a decorative object. Today, this bracelet stands as a unique testament to traditional Chinese craftsmanship adapted to mid-century Western tastes.
An exceptional piece of jewelry with great symbolic and collectible value. It is difficult to find on the current market.
