Vintage Chinese Silver Charms Silk Tasseled Belt
Sign in to rate

Amazing vintage China made belt with tasseled ends. I assume it is a belt, although I am honestly not sure. The main cord is bright pink although not as neon color as it may appear on your screen. One side is finished with a tasel, the other just a knot. On this cord there is a Champleve enameled butterfly buckle. On the bottom of the buckle there is a bar. This bar holds 4 different tasseled pendants.

One is yellow with a large silver metal piece that resembles an urn. On each of the urn's angles there is a coral and enamel flower pendant.  There is a simbol or Chinese letter chased on the body of the urn. The top is filigree with applied flowers. This pendant metal portion is 2 3/8" long by 1 7/8" at the widest point and almost 1" at the thickest point. Overall length is 12 1/2" from the bar at the buckle to the tip of the tassel.

One is Royal Blue, from the fancy knot handgs a sheath. This sheath is nicely detailed and measures 3 3/8" long. The length overall including the tassel is 13".

One is light blue and short with three pendants. One is what looks like a pod, it is enameled in Cloisonne and Champleve styles, two are stylized flowers with light blue enamel. There is a bit of loss on the light blue enamel center portion on one of the flowers. Overall length is approximately 4 1/4".

The last charm or pendant resembels a flat helmet (for lack of better comparison). It is silver filigree with Coral accents. It may have held something but did thisis how I found it. Overall measurements of the metal portion are 2 1/2" long on the sides, 2" at the widest point and almost 3/4" thick. Overall length including the tassel is 12 1/2" long.

Tassels feel like silk, please note that some straightening out of the ends might be need as they threads tend to tangle up. Overall length of the bright pink cord is 50" end to end. Butterfly buckle is 1" tall by 1 3/8" in wingspan.  In good condition, no loss of enamel on the butterfly.

EACH PIECE CAREFULLY TESTED AND EACH SHOWS SILVER CONTENT! Overall weight approximately 186 grams. This includes the textile portions.

Vintage Art Deco Chinese Double Drop Long Necklace
Sign in to rate

This beautiful Art Deco style Chinese necklace comes from my personal collection. It was purchased vintage in the 1980s. I love it, it is gorgeous, but I do not wear it much due to my lifestyle. It should go to a home where it will be loved and enjoyed. The necklace is estimated to date from the Art Deco Period, although it could be as new as the 60s. It was purchased as an older necklace but without a specific date I can remember.

Large Wiggly Fish Pendant Enameled Sterling

Large Wiggly Articulated Fish Pendant Enameled Sterling Silver
From my personal collection of articulated fish comes this larger than most example! It is really big, the colors are gorgeous, the eyes move when the fish wiggles. It is beautiful and beautifully made, an older example made in China or Japan in the early 20th Century.

Fish pendant is Sterling Silver with gold wash, but most of the gold is gone. The enamel is in good condition, only one or two scales have lost a portion of it. The belly of the fish is white which may appear without enamel, but that is due to different monitor settings.

Very detailed pendant, the fish is almost the size of a real gold fish. It measures 3" long not including any of the jump rings. The colors are gorgeous, vivid greens, turquoise blue, yellow and reds with lovely shading. It is in very good condition for it's age and there is a very good possibility it is antique or over 100 years old.

Chinoiserie Champleve Enamel Carved Painted Bone Box
Sign in to rate
Beautiful vintage box probably made to hold cigarettes but it will hold small treasures just as well. The lid and sides are enamel on flower patterned Copper. Enamel is the most beautiful vivid shade of Royal Blue. Held by prongs on the lid is a scene of two scholars, seated at a table with accessories, being served dinner by a woman in traditional clothing. Very nicely done carving, it is done in bone and sectional. The three sections are then assembled as a small puzzle. It is also hand colored as in traditional Japanese carved Ivory. My feeling is that this is a piece from China and not Japan, hence the use of bone and not Ivory. Beautiful object, regardless.
