2 viewsNot sold
A Set of Three Chinese Tibetan White Metal Openwork Seals.
A group of three Chinese white metal objects, each of differing form, comprising two rectangular-section pieces and one cylindrical example. All are decorated with finely pierced openwork scroll designs, incorporating stylised floral and auspicious motifs. The surfaces show a uniform pale silver-grey tone with areas of darker shading, consistent across the set.
Each piece is surmounted by a pierced finial, likely intended both as a decorative terminal and as a functional grip. The bases are flat and engraved: the rectangular examples bear geometric or symbolic designs within framed borders, while the cylindrical example is finished with an interlaced knot motif on its base.
H: Approximately 4.3-6cm
Provenance: Private collection from a British gentleman.
