An antique octagonal silver box decorated with high-relief carvings depicting exotic birds among flowering branches , motifs associated with harmony, longevity, and beauty in traditional Chinese iconography. The top lid and interior also feature Chinese characters , generally associated with auspicious wishes such as "happiness" or "long life."
Due to its formal and technical characteristics (repoussé, symmetrical composition, naturalistic scene), this piece could be attributed to the style known as Chinese Export Silver , developed between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries for the Western market. The hallmark on the base, with oriental characters , suggests a possible origin in workshops in southern China, such as Canton or Shanghai, although it has not been conclusively identified.
A piece of great decorative, artisanal, and historical value. Perfect for collectors of Asian silverware, Oriental art, or antiques with a cultural narrative.
