Pair of Antique Chinese Silver Menu-Holders
A lovely and useful antique that would enhance any table. Hopefully to bring the intended happiness and good fortune. A pair of Chinese, pierced fine-silver (900), Chinese character menu-holders on easel-backs by Luen Hing, ca 1900 - , maker Luen Hing – 6.5cm diameter - 42g. These lovely silver menu holders bear the central Chinese character 福 fu, meaning Good Fortune, Happiness, Blessings. To the outside of the central motif floral roundels are interspersed with small facsimile coins of the Emperor Guangxu. To the back - the splayed easel supports are stamped with the numeral "90" indicating silver of 900 parts per thousand, together with Chinese character and Roman alphabet marks for the maker Luen Hing - who was active in Shanghai ca. 1880-1920. These probably date from the early 20th Century.
Excellent condition - displaying only minor surface scratching consistent with age and use.
I trade in small silver, jewellery and objets d'art. I sell primarily at antiques fairs and in cabinets in Christique Antique Centre in Dorking. I try to find unusual and interesting stock and like to keep turning it over, so I can buy more. Postage and packing are free within the UK - unless explicitly stated otherwise. All fine jewellery will be supplied with a box. If the box/case is described in the text, it will be the one photographed, but may not be if it is not mentioned explicitly. I keep hardly any stock at home, if you want to buy something and need it urgently, I will usually do it the next day, but it may take me some time to respond if you need extra photographs and/or details about the piece that I do not have to hand, as I typically visit the antiques centre just once a week. If you don't see what you're looking for - feel free to send an enquiry via the site. I have only been able to list a portion of my stock.
I will always mention anything that materially affects the aesthetic or function of a piece, but will not attempt to describe what I consider to be normal for age and use. Please use the photographs as well as you can and I’m always happy to answer specific questions.
