♤ Sun Shing – Canton, 1790-1885 : - During the early China Trade period (1785-1840), many Canton-based companies made silver that imitated Western silver in style and decoration. Sun Shing (1790-1885) and Wong Shing (1820-1860) are among the best known firms from this period.
- ♧ Broadly speaking, Chinese export silver from this period was of uniformly high quality and heavy weight, and was marked with initials and pseudo hallmarks in imitation of English hallmarks. Sun Shing is best known for its superb table silver. Early work is often marked with the initials ‘SS’ and pseudo hallmarks, while mid-19th-century work is accompanied by an ideogram.
☆This 17th-century sun shing antique trinket box is an extremely rare find, featuring a repousse plum blossom Celtic design. Crafted from sterling silver, this Hallmarked piece exudes the style of the Age of Enlightenment. A unique and valuable addition to any collection.
Roughly 2 ounces
Late 17th - Early 18th century based off of the marks.
