A great find! This extraordinary antique Chinese export bracelet was designed for the Western market between the 1930s and 1950s, at the height of the Orientalist export boom. It is an exceptional collector's item due to its level of detail, rarity, and perfect state of preservation.
Crafted in delicate silver filigree, it features a symmetrical, open floral design with five floral panels carved in a bluish turquoise material, probably turquoise paste, widely used at the time. These carefully framed carvings evoke traditional motifs and give 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 of the era. Its paneled construction provides great flexibility and a comfortable fit on the wrist, and the push-button closure ensures a secure fit without compromising aesthetics.
This type of jewelry, which combines artisanal refinement with a mystical and decorative touch, was coveted both as a luxury accessory and as a decorative object. Today, this bracelet represents a unique testament to traditional Chinese craftsmanship adapted to mid-century Western tastes.
An exceptional piece of jewelry with great symbolic and collectible value. Hard to find on today's market.
