Antique Chinese silver bracelet, signed and crafted using an openwork technique with an impressive level of detail. The design combines articulated plates with floral reliefs, bunches of grapes, and branches, centered by a large, mixed-silhouette front section where two oriental dragons intertwine around a semi-spherical, translucent green jade stone, a traditional symbol of longevity and nobility in Chinese culture.
Clearly influenced by Art Deco, this is undoubtedly an export piece. The contrast on the reverse confirms its authenticity and craftsmanship. Each link is joined by solid hinges that maintain their mobility and firmness, and the clasp remains functional and secure.
The naturalistic motifs (peonies, vines, birds) and mythological motifs (dragons) reflect the classical Chinese worldview and the decorative aesthetic characteristic of ancient jewelry from Canton or Shanghai.
A powerful and symbolic jewel, perfect for those seeking a connection with Chinese tradition, the art of filigree, and the spiritual value of jade. It can be worn as a statement piece at special events or treasured as a family heirloom. An ideal gift.
